[Elecraft] K2 LCD Back?

[Jimmy Walker]

I'm doubting this group would have too much sympathy for a builder who 
neglects the errata sheet. My first step in constructing a kit is go 
over the errata sheet and write in the changes to the construction 
manual. I must confess, however, to having some difficulty reading my 
handwriting some days or weeks later, but there'll never be a fix for 
that problem.
