[Elecraft] K2 RF Board: Missing Bag of Parts #!!??#

[Joe Malloy]

I know how you must feel (I've been there), Jim, but having the bag is no
assurance that the parts will all work.  Elecraft does its best, but
occasionally they are tripped up by a supplier who does them in (it happened
in my case).  Your case is the first I have heard of missing a whole bag of
parts, but remember: Elecraft is a small company and, considering the odds,
they are doing well (I mean, I assembled a number of Heathkits over the
years and had to write for parts of any number of occasions!).  Chin up --
this will put off the inevitable crestfallen state you will probably
experience when you realize there's nothing left to build!
