[Elecraft] First K2 question

For the K2, many, if not all of the resistors will come on a reel, in 
the order to be used. This cuts down on the inventory pretty significantly.

Were it me, I'd perform an inventory of ALL components  of the K2 
BEFORE beginning assembly. This way, should anything be missing, you 
can request a replacement and still have it in time for timely 
installation. Elecraft is usually good to respond within 24 hours of 
receipt of your request.

The inventory can be performed on a per-bag basis, so you don't get 
things mixed up and possibly out of order.
