[Elecraft] Wow - disappointment with the KSB2 Kit

[John Hoaglun]

I am in the process of building my K2. This is my second Elecraft Kit 
(XV222 being the other one.)  The XV222 and K2 kits have great 
directions that are very precise and call out the details of the 
resistor color codes, the exact details of the capacitors, and other 
items very well.

What the heck happened to the KSB2 kit?  I am working on the Front Panel 
Board Components on page 16 steps 3 & 4 that K2 book suggests that you 
complete before moving on with the K2. The details on the parts on page 
16 are horrible compared to the standards that I have seen in the other 
Elecraft documentation.

As someone that is working on building a fully loaded K2 + transverters 
and starting to look at the K3 as the next big toy the first steps of 
the KSB2 have left me with sudden negative impression.

Doing a quick spot check of the rest of the KSB2 manual some sections 
seem like they are very detailed and the next chunk of components lack 
that same detail. What happened to the quality control on this?

Thanks, JH
