[Elecraft] New K2 now!

[David Wilburn]

Ditto what Bruce said.  I purchased my K2 to get the radio that fit my 
needs.  I did not focus on the building.  But it turned out to be much 
more fun than expected.  The directions are very straight forward.  Do 
your inventories, and just start working your way through the parts.

Before you know it, the front panel and control board will be 
together.  Then you start on he RF board.  The majority of it is just 
putting the right part in the right place, and soldering it well. 
Once you start doing some checks, you will really feel a sense of 
accomplishment.

A great radio, and you learn something too.  Both about the equipment 
and yourself.  It doesn't get much better than that.

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 Marana,AZ.
