[Elecraft] Conception of a K2

[Mark Saunders, KJ7BS]

John,

Welcome to the Elecraft ranks.  I know you will enjoy building the K2 and
enjoy operating it even more.

I built my K2 S/N in 1998 and have used it a lot, mostly portable.

If you are even contemplating adding modules to it, get the rework
eliminators.  Some of the add-in modules require the removal of components.
With the rework eliminators, those components go on plug-in boards that are
"place holders" for the add-in modules, so when you are ready to install an
add-in, you simply unplug the rework eliminator and plug in the add-in
module.  The parts to be removed are located on the rework eliminator.

OK so I have decided to buy the base K2 kit and build it along with my
son; He needs to see a process like this unfold.

I have read the various FAQs, tips, etc.

I am not new to kit building.

We have a good soldering station.

If the K2 works out well we will use it on CW for a while and then add
enhancements: SSB first then others (perhaps DSP, 160M, 60M-Xvrter,
100Watts)..

Are there tools or tips I am missing before I drop the coin?

John
