[Elecraft] K2 #2644: The Adventure Begins!

Stephen,
        Good luck on your new acquisition.  Here are a few tips:

1 - INVENTORY the parts.  INVENTORY the parts.  INVENTORY the parts.
2 - The LCD backlight plugs in either way, it is symmetrical.
3 - Read the instructions pertaining to winding toroids before winding
them, not after.
4 - Believe what people tell you on this reflector, especially when
they say it is a great radio.
5 - If you have a problem setting up the filters, don't fight it for a
month like me, call Gary.
