[Elecraft] In training for K2...

[John Buck]

There have been comments that the K2 manuals may not be up to the 
HeathKit standards.  Certainly HeathKit set the standard in the 1950's.

But in my opinion the K2 manual is much more idiot proof than my AR-2, 
DX-35 and oscilloscope Heathkit manuals were.  I made many mistakes that 
I am convinced the Elecraft manual would have anticipated.  Elecraft 
provides tutorial information that was lacking in the HeathKit manuals.
And after 50 years I still learned some new assembly tricks from 
Elecraft, specifically a much better method for stripping toroid leads.

By the way, I like some HeathKits, and still use the SB-220, truly a 
classic design.  They were light years ahead of every one else in making 
assembly and operation manuals, until now.
