[Elecraft] Rework Eliminators: when to use them, and why

[wayne burdick]

Gary and company have done a very professional job on the 
"Eliminators." Some builders will find them useful. On the other hand, 
Elecraft's documentation and staging of construction is consistent and 
carefully planned, so they are not a necessity.

It's clear that builders can successfully complete the K2 using either 
method.

Here's my recommendation:

-  If the notion of plug-in substitutes for future options strongly 
appeals to you, and you don't mind *carefully* following the additional 
set of instructions that comes with them, then by all means consider 
this method.

-  If you'd prefer to minimize the amount of documentation you have to 
deal with in building a kit, then stick with the Elecraft manuals. If 
you're capable of building a K2, then you certainly won't have any 
trouble adding options "our" way.

Disclaimer: I'm the principle designer of the K2 and wrote most of the 
manuals, so I could be biased. You decide  :)
