I know that Elecraft doesn't recommend cleaning the flux off of the 
PCB's.....

However I have an easy method of doing it.  All you have to do is get a can 
of "LPS
CFC Free Electro Contact Cleaner".  I just sprayed it on the back of my K2 RF 
board and without using a brush it removed all the flux and made the board 
look like it was professionally made. No more flux residue!  I DID NOT use it 
on the main parts side, and wouldn't suggest doing that.

My K2 Ser #2786 with SSB, NB, 160m, and KPA100 has been up and running now 
for several weeks with no problems.
Great radio!
This is the third one that I have built.
