[Elecraft] SSB Removal

[Mike Markowski]

For someone new to K2 building - like, say, someone who just ordered his 
first one yesterday :-) - would you recommend building the K2 as 
directed and then desoldering parts to add additional boards?  The 
directions seem to recommend that after a quick skim.  But it seems to 
me it'd be much easier to read directions for the add-ons and use 
jumpers like described below to avoid the need for desoldering.  Has 
anyone had bad experience doing that?  Thanks,
