 >> Stay tuned - The K2/100 will be shipping by Dayton (May 19th).

Yes, but will we be able to overdrive it to 120W?

Just Kidding,

Just finished 40M receiver test and heard stations for the first time.

Only variation that I did, was not to solder W2, W3 and C167 rather I 
bought a single row straight 40 pin header and broke them into two 3 pin 
and a 12 pin connector. I put the jumpers on pins 1 and 3 of the 3 pin 
connectors and the capacitor on pin 7 and 12 of the 12 pin connector. These 
plug into J9, J10 and J11 before eventually replacing it with the SSB board.

It makes it a little simpler in the future for taking the SSB module in or 
out.

The voltage and current display from the K2 seem to jitter a bit more than 
they should, under a 1v on the voltage display.

I'm realizing that this is the first rig I've used that has a digital 
display, it takes a bit getting used to.
