[Elecraft] Some Info Please

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hello Bryan.

 

The K1 requires no more than a basic soldering ability and the willingness
to follow step-by-step instructions. As many people have observed about all
the Elecraft kits, it's a matter of doing some simple soldering and assembly
many times. There's a lot of parts, even in the K1, but if you take the time
to follow the assembly procedure, you'll have a first class QRP rig. 

 

You can download the K1 manual that contains complete assembly instructions
here:

 

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K1_manual_rev_F.pdf

 

and there's an errata sheet for that manual here:

 

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K1_Errata_Rev_F-8.pdf

 

You'll need a few hand tools, a decent ESD-safe soldering iron, and a DMM. A
complete list of tools is on page 9. 

 

There are a lot number of K1 owners here with extensive experience who will
happily help you in case you have questions. Also, you can drop an e-mail to
support at elecraft.com for direct tech support should the need arise. Elecraft
has the goal of never letting a builder fail to end up with a rig he/she is
proud to own and operate. 

 

It's all about enjoying Ham radio, and if part of that enjoyment for you  is
building a nice rig, you can't do better than Elecraft.

Name is Bryan,                    I have Just joined the mailing list.
Just wanted some info on the K1.   Is this difficult to build.  I am not an
experience builder. But have built some kits in the past.   NOT LIKE THIS
ONE,    What test gear do I need.    Merry Christmas to all.         Bryan
