[Elecraft] Board trace images

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Jim,
    I built K2 #2511 a few years ago and have not changed a thing.  I've 
seen the inside of electronics with traces cut and jumpers all over the 
place and all I think is, "What a kluge!"  If I ever feel the urge to do 
the mods I'll get rid of faithful old #2511 and build a new one with the 
mods built in so they are not so fragile.  The design was good enough to 
sell when I bought it and no one has convinced me I need to do any of the 
kluges yet so I'll just keep it the way it is.  I like it just fine.
    73,
       Kevin.
