[Elecraft] K2 Alignment and Verification of Specifications

[David A. Belsley]

Boy, I don't get this one at all.  The whole essence of Elecraft,  
IMHO, is doing it yourself and getting something really great for the  
effort.  That's a conjunction: doing it oneself AND getting a great  
product.  If all you want is the latter, there are plenty of other  
sources.  And if you want the former, then do the former.  It's good  
to have self doubts, but they work best when they lead you to do  
what's necessary to remove them -- yourself. Don, W3FPR, is a nice  
guy and provides a nice answer, but Mike, I hope you don't try to  
avail yourself of someone else to tweak your K2.  The K2 is really an  
amazingly simple rig to align properly, and the necessary  
instructions are well stated in the manual or on the Elecraft site.   
This is a job you can do for yourself -- just perfectly.

best wishes,

dave belsley, w1euy (getting to be, according to the wife -- among  
other people --, an ol' curmudgeon)
