[Elecraft] [K2] how much harder to build: K2 vs K1?

[lstavenhagen]

Hi all,

I'm considering building a K2, but here's my situation. I'd be a first-time
kit builder, I've never had the opportunity to build and the K2 looks like
it'd be great fun and a great learning experience. The K1 sounds like it's
the better choice for a first-time build, but the K2 matches what I need in
a radio a lot better.

So I guess my general question is, how much harder would a K2 be to build
over a K1? I.e. what are the "gotchas" with the K2 for a novice builder that
aren't in a K1?

I know this is kind of vague, but that's the only way I can think of to ask
the question. I think I'd still do OK if I took my time and got good tools
(I just ordered the recommended weller soldering station).

Thanks,
LS
