[Elecraft] K2 #6358 Alignment and Test Part 1

[Ken, KA0W]

Tony,
   
  What will power: "haven't worked more than about 2 hours (with breaks) at any one sitting" !
   
  Is there some kind of special military training you had that enables you to stop working on a radio project after only 2 hours - "HI!"
   
  I still can remember being up for two days at a time putting together my Heathkit DX60B and HR10B so I could get on the air.
   
  Will see if my K2/100 tests ok after a few hours of building. It first has to get here, maybe late next week. Doubt I would last 2 days of building now, would have a soldering pencil burn across my face after falling asleep.
   
  Have fun!
   
  Ken, KA0W

  K2 #6358 just passed all the steps in Alignment and Test Part 1.

No smoke was released and after a brief detour to figure out why
segment 10 of the s-meter wouldn't light (pin 1 of the led array
wasn't soldered!) all tests passed.

Missing pin 1 was a real shock to me since I triple checked my
soldering. Also, I haven't been working when I am tired and haven't
worked more than about 2 hours (with breaks) at any one sitting.

I guess Don's advice to:
1. Check your soldering
2. Check your soldering
3. Check your soldering

wasn't enough for me. It took 4 times!
