[Elecraft] K2 or K1?

[Gary D Krause]

Hi, I've been reading many of the posts here as well as reading through the 
manuals on the Elecraft site.  I've been thinking about building either a K2 
or K1.  I've read some of the magazine articles that state that the K2 is not 
a beginners kit and I have read other sources that state beginners have built 
the K2 with no problem.

The last time I built a kit was in the eighties.  I have no doubt about my 
soldering abilities and I know that isn't a problem.  I've been told on the 
air that if I'm going to build the K2 or K1 to go for the K2.  I would like to 
build the K2.  So, I would like some feed back on what you think.  Has anyone 
here built the K2 as their first kit or Elecraft kit?

I really don't want to build the K1 first because, I don't want to spend the 
money for both rigs.  I know I could sell the K1 but, I don't want to be 
bothered with that.

Thanks,
Gary, N7HTS
