[Elecraft] K2 or K1?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That's Mychael the toroidguy at: toroidguy at earthlink.net

He does great work. If you can't find the reference on the web site, just
drop him a line. You don't need to send him your cores. Just place your
order and the toroids will be on their way "toot sweet" (my apologies to our
French speaking members). 

And the usual disclaimers do *not* apply. He's a friend of mine and, I
suspect, a LOT of other folks on the reflector here.

K1 or K2 or Elecraft?

I built the K2 #54xx last spring.  Went very well,
soldering skills came back quickly - from my
previous ham Heathkit days ..........

One thing I would strongly recommend, although not
necessary - is to buy the PRE-BUILT TOROIDS, from the
"Toroid Man" Mike.  He's listed on the Elecraft 
website.

He winds and tins almost perfect Toroids.  Each is
carefully marked in a small envelope - ready to
install.  I bet that one decision - made my K2
build a total success!  I recall - he had them
built and shipped to me, before I even had paid
him, or before my personal check had cleared
at his end.  He is very good to work with!

I toroid mis-install, 1 extra or short winding, on
a single toroid - can cause MUCH grief!

Good luck on your build decision.
Elecraft - you will not regret it!
