Paul,
You seem to think you're on Facebook where the goal is to take offense and be derisive....? This forum supposed to be about "hams helping hams" politely.? I'm not trying to hijack the thread.
I was trying to understand what the V2 in your subject line referred to, which I thought was obvious from my first sentence in the post.? The point of the rest of my post was that referencing only the prefix of the serial # doesn't usually establish a hardware revision, you need the full Serial # or most of it at least.? Since you don't sign posts with your call sign, I don't know where you are.? I assume perhaps the UK and thought maybe there had been a new version released, since the UK and EU had new prefixes, which I don't remember seeing any mention of on this forum stating how they differed.
