You can build the main K2 and the options and the same time, but you
should testing the main K2 first. If you don't like to remove some part as
a reaction for install the options, so use the "adapter" described on the
elecraft pages.

If you plan to operate EXCLUSIVELY at about 5 watts or less, so I advise
the modification on the "binocular" T4 (described in the K2 manual)
