[Elecraft] building a K-2 compared to HW-9

[Chip Hood]

I am trying to get a feel for the difficulty to build a K-2 (w/SSB and tuner options) compared to a Heathkit HW-9:  difficulty, time to complete, troubleshooting, etc.

My last kit was a good while back - an HW-9 with band pack.  I'd like to build the K-2 myself but don't want to bite off more than I can handle or have time to complete.

Thanks for any input.
