[Elecraft] Accessory Order

[Don Wilhelm]

Jason,
I don't believe there is a right answer to your question.

You may want to build the 160 meter option first since soldering the
connector requires you to remove the heat sink.  While you are at it, look
at the instructions for each option that you have, and if it tells you to
remove the heat sink, do those steps at the same time - that way you only
have to remove and replace the heat sink one time.

The SSB option also requires you to remove the front panel unless you added
thiose components during the build of your base K2.  Other than that, the
options can be installed in any order.

By the way, you do not need the KIO2 option if you purchase the KPA100
because it is built into the amp.  If you mount the amp in a separate
enclosure, you will need the KIO2 option on the base K2.

I've been working on my K2 and am getting closer to completion.  I have also
purchased all of the options except the amp and i/o module.  I was wondering
what order to build the other accessories that would require the least
amount of disassembly and removing a just installed components.  Any
thoughts?  Thanks.
