[Elecraft] K2 under construction

[Marinus, ZL2ML]

George,

Many thanks for the suggestion. After long pondering about this issue: shall
I or shall I not get the SSB kit I decided against it. Many years ago I
moved to CW only and I feel that CW requirements are different from SSB
requirements. E.g. for SSB many prefer the KDSP2 where other prefer the KAF2
when working CW and using headphones.

I also read about some owners having to replace the headphone jack.

I have already built the front without the microphone socket and I have
ordered a custom made cover plate that will go over both holes and will be
attached through the holes from the back (so it can be reverted should I
ever desire) Could have glued it to the front but then I would need a spare
front.

The headphone jack will go to the back and I will put a hefty 6 mm phone
plug in there. Plenty of space there, hi hi.
