[Elecraft] New K2 now!

[Bruce McLaughlin]

I am sorry to hear about your misfortune with the shipping.  But
congratulations on deciding to build the K2.  I built my K2/100 with most
accessories several years ago.  It did take a while because I decided to go
slowly and carefully.  But it was very satisfying to see what was originally
a large collection of parts gradually morph into a recognizable radio.  It
was even more satisfying when I applied power the first time and it did what
it was supposed to do!  In the end I had a very nice radio indeed.  If you
take it easy and carefully check what you do you should have no problems. I
wish you the best of luck.  There a lot of very knowledgeable people on this
reflector who will gladly help if you do run into any problems.

Good morning,some of you may remember I bought a used bare bones K2 on ebay
about two weeks ago-s/n 5801.It was completely destroyed,according to
FedEx!Well,after much thought and consideration,I decided to go the kit
route! I received my new K2 yesterday-s/n 6576 from Elecraft! Iam no
electrical or electronics engineer,I built some kits as youngster,and a few
more the last few years(very simple and basic).I can solder,and read
directions,so I figure that's half the battle in building the K2!It looks a
little overwhelming at this point,but I think Iam ready to tackle this BIG
project!Hopefully,I won't run into any problems,but I know where to turn if
I do.I'll let everyone know when its up and running.73 de Ed N7EDK
