[Elecraft] Q: Building the K2

I too built my K2 # 5422, 2 months ago. It had been
a while since my previous "Heathkit" kit building
experiences.

Tools you will want to acquire:

- good SMALL flush-cutting cutters
- Kester lower-rosin SOLDER, like SN63PB37
- hand Magnifying Glass
- "Solder Sucker" tool, cheap
- digital MultiMeter (like $27 us)
- an ANTI-STATIC MAT, and Wrist Strap ($15 us)
- small pocket knife, fine screwdriver
- smaller phillips head screwdriver
- some de-solder wick (works poorly)
- needle nose pliers, with rubber band

I found that working in 2 hour or less periods,
helped me from making any careless mistakes.

Elecraft, and this message mail board, will help
you complete a successful K2.  Great bunch of
people!

Thanks, 73's
