[Elecraft] K2 # 06602: RX alive on 40meters

[Marinus, ZL2ML]

Have just completed the Assembly II stage. Had only one hickup where I had
skipped some components but after those were added it all burst into life.

About 6 months ago I got my hands on a TenTec Omni 546-C (new in the box,
unused; 28 years in storage) in which all bypass capacitors and
electrolytics needed replacing. A total realignment was required too with
requirements of frequency counter, oscilloscope, dummy load, current meter
(18 A).

The K2 has proven to be a lot simpler and easier than that job. Alignment
has not given me grief (sofar, touch wood), only slowdown was a bit of a
learning curve on how to drive the menus. 

Very pleased with the kit, looked forward to get it on the air and put it to
the test.

Hopefully I'll find next week a few days to get a new antenna up (weather
permitting) and then I can move on to the Assembly III stage. 

73, Marinus
