[Elecraft] Construction Question

Hi

It is best to build the K2 and get everything working before installing any
options. You can install all of the connectors on the RF board for the
options while building the basic K2 but leave the jumpers in place until the
basic radio is complete. Then add the options one at a time. Note your K2 is
above 3000 so the spur and ALC mod are already on the board so ignore the
mod kit that comes with the KPA100.

For those with serial numbers below 3000 the spur and ALC mod for the KPA100
can be added to the basic K2 at the time of the basic assembly. If you add
the mod later you will need to touch up the alignment again.

I ordered my K2 with all the options except the 160 Meter module.  I am in
the midst of construction, nearly through with the RF board and notice that
there are some component changes required for installing the 100 Watt PA.
There may be other changes necessary for the other options.  I haven't
looked yet.

The question is:  Is it better to build the base K2 test it all out and then
make the mods for adding the other options or should I just go ahead and
include these changes in the original build?  How will all this affect the
test and check-out of the unit when the RF board is completed and before the
options are plugged in?
