[Elecraft] 1st Time Kit building

Mon Jul 22 18:32:01 2002

Hi

I would second this suggestion and add. Buy yourself a good set of flush =
cutters, needle nose pliers and if at all possible get a temperature cont=
rolled soldering station. Read the soldering tutorial on the Elecraft web=
 site and practice on a scrap of pc board if you can before starting to b=
uild anything. =20

If you can build a K1, you can build a K2; it just has more
parts and takes longer, but is no more difficult.  I recommend
that you try a less overwhelming kit first, like the WM-2 QRP
wattmeter or the 100 watt dummy load, both available from
Oak Hills Research (http://www.ohr.com).  Both are excellent
first-time kits and will be indispensible when you build your
K1 or K2 later on.  The wattmeter is perfect for the transmitter
alignments, and the dummy load provides a nice, stable 50
ohm load.  I have built both and love them.
