[Elecraft] K2 employing the ReworkEliminator & UNPCBs

[Darwin, Keith]

Wow Joe, you put yours together fast!  In about the same time I've
managed to modify my manual and stuff about 1/3 of the parts into the
control board :-)

My K2 is going together with the rework eliminators and UNPCBs as well.
I'm not too far through the process and so far the re/UNPCBs have just
added effort - just like you'd expect!  I found the effort of modifying
the K2 manual to be painful.  In many instances it would have been
easier to just delete complete steps in the original manual and replace
them with a reference to the RE manual.  That would be easier to do than
editing the K2 manual by hand.  It took a few hours of careful reading &
redlining to get the changes into the manual.  Now that that part is
done, I believe the extra work during assembly will be rather minor and
the savings as I add options to the final rig will be wonderful.

It took me two weekend days and the evenings during the week in between
to get the bare K2 ready for the first QSOs.  ... Of course without
finishing the top cover installation with the speaker which came a few
days later. ...
