[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 Construction Update..

[Andy GM0NWI]

Guy's..

Just to let everyone who WILL see my e-mail on the reflector soon from this 
morning...

To IGNORE...the "plea for help"...!  Time has passed today, since posting 
that e-mail to the reflector...
the day is nearing closure...  ONCE AGAIN..!  My well respected 
..."..Elecraft K2 Elmer" ...John Ross GM1BSG..
"saved the day"...!

On inspection of the rig (...a little closer than I had actually done while 
constructing her early this morning...) it was
noticed, ...found... corrected...  that I had INDEED...not "mated" the 
connector pins from one of the boards to the
connector on the "RF Board" quite correctly...!!

sigh..! ....blinks in disbelief..!  Yes..! indeed...the whole episode of 
panic..was for no reason whatsoever... and
this was the reason as to my "baby" not turning on and lighting up this 
morning..!!

I can now say WITH convictions...! that I feel "rather stupid...and small" 
for overseasing this foresight..!  With a fresh
pair of eyes and a much better logical mind... John...actually noticed that 
this was indeed the problem...  Without ALL
3 boards,...being "mated" together properly of course things will NOT 
function as they should..!!

Here is one happy "Elecrafter" for sure... All that remains now is to go 
ahead and "fine tune" the section for letting her
"sing" on 40m...!

Thanks to everyone who has and who probably will still...see the earlier 
e-mail to the reflector... your comments are still welcome as they may help 
others...but I for one are well on the road to the final success and so far, 
barring this oversight
on my part....ALL stages have went very smoothly and much better than first 
anticipated...

Thanks for the help guys....and the bandwidth...  Watch this Space...!
