[Elecraft] Option and building

[Don Wilhelm]

Folks,
While building most of the options first may be an OK thing to do - other
than they cannot be fully tested until the basic K2 is complete, and I
personally don't recommend it, I would caution anyone contemplating building
the SSB module before the basic K2.
Why you ask? - IMHO, the SSB option is the most compact option for the K2 -
the board space is very cramped and requires careful soldering in tight
places - making the K2 a good practice kit for the SSB module <G>.
