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

[Bill K9YEQ]

And, an everlasting love of the K2.  I won't part with the last of the three
I owned.  I am down to the last one.

K2 is quite significantly more work than a K1. But it is the last time
you will build a full function transceiver from discrete components
ala Heathkit. The time you spend with it will linger with you and put
you in a new relationship with radio equipment. Highly recommended.

73, Guy.
