[Elecraft] K2 - getting ready to build

[Ken]

John,

I should be right behind you with the K2 construction. I wasn't going to do a K2, but have become brainwashed enough that I finally had to order the box of parts.

If you hear any noise to the south of you it will be just me grumping after I screwed something up because I have no patience when building. 

Have fun!

I am getting ready to start my K2 project (after this weekend's VHF 
contest is done.) I have the base K2 kit + KAT2, + KSB2 for my initial 
build. I am planning to add a couple more pieces in the future (KIO2, 
K160RX, K60XV.)  I know that some people have used some sort of 
inexpensive kit to allow to for the future upgrade path.

Are there any opinions one way or the other on that? My main concern 
being any parts that I might need to desolder in the future if I don't 
plan for the options now.

After building my XV222 (for this weekend's contest) I am looking 
forward to starting the K2 project. The dead of winter has arrived in 
Minnesota so it is a good time of year to melt some solder.
