[Elecraft] K2 Initial Power up

[Don Wilhelm]

Nate,

It sounds like the only thing you have to check is the temperature on 
your soldering station.  Bump it up to 750 deg/F if you can.  Make 
certain you give the solder pads enough heat - you should see the solder 
flow out to an almost invisible edge on the pad in 2 to 3 seconds for 
normal pads and lead sizes - the large diode leads and ground pads take 
a bit longer because they wick heat away from the junction.

I cannot get the error code to repeat. I followed the troubleshooting procedures in the book and everything looks good. Do you think i should check anything else?
