Hello all,
I'm pleased to report K2 #3666 operational, awaiting install of SSB (one of
those teensy toroids broken).
Only major problem in construction was being caught by the driver to amp
transformer lead not being tinned far enough back. Found this by signal
tracing, and now tinning toroid leads much closer in, to allow for the
pull-through.
I've been most impressed with the kit quality as well as the design. Using
a Hakko temp controlled station, magnifying headset, mutlicore 2% silver
LMP solder and the quick-swipe-on-the-sponge method. Elecraft service is
outstanding.
Regards,
Chris Meagher
