[Elecraft] Notes to new K2 builders - Part 1

[Bill Tippett]

	I've completed the Control Board for #4119 and
noticed the following:

1.  I ended up with an extra 1N5817 diode, which is
supposedly D3, but page 15 says to install R22 (82k)
in its place.  Maybe R22 is installed for temporary
testing so I'll keep the D3 diode until after alignment.

2.  U1 is specified as NE602 or SA602 on page 19, but
the IC in my kit was SA612...hopefully equivalent.

3.  Just a couple of thoughts on ESD protection.  Radio
Shack has an ESD wrist strap for $4.95, and 5" X 5"
conductive foam pads for $1.29.  I borrowed a large flat
aluminum cookie sheet from my wife for a work surface,
connect it to earth ground, place two pads on the sheet
and clip my wrist strap to the aluminum sheet.  I always
make sure I'm grounded before handling any device, such
as transferring loose transistors from the kit bags.  Hopefully
no zaps since my soldering iron is supposedly ESD safe.
