[Elecraft] K2 - Wrong Q6 Driver?

[Don Wilhelm]

JT,

Install the 2SC5739 at the Q6 location.  The part has been changed for 
RoHS considerations, but the paperwork in the form of an errata sheet 
did not catch up yet (no doubt due to the enormous workload of the K3 
release).

Actually in the two K2s I have built recently, the 2SC5739 worked 
slightly better than the previous 2SC2166 - it seems to have a bit more 
available gain.

73,
