[Elecraft] K2 S/N #5396 up and running employing the Rework Eliminator & UNPCBs

[Ken Alexander]

This really does sound like a great idea and something
I should incorporate into my new K2.

Although, looking at their website I couldn't tell the
difference between an UNPCB and a Rework Eliminator. 
The whole thing left me confused...I'm sure it's
mostly just me, but it's going to take some more head
scratching before I can determine what I need.

While I shudder at the thought of opening up a
finished K2, I did build a KX1 with tuner and 30m
board, so I can do anything!  8-)
