[Elecraft] My question is, "Do you folks think it is really necessary to , detail-inventory the Elecraft K2 product??

[eric manning]

I think it's a good idea.

The serious screwup is not  being shorted by Elecraft for a 50 cent 
component, it is installing the wrong component somewhere.

Doing a careful identification of all the parts by inventory is a good 
way to avoid this.

You match up each component with its descriptions by doing the inventory 
and filing the components
accordingly [I use muffin tins, with all of the diodes in the same dish, 
etc. You are less likely to install a diode in a resistor's place
, or the wrong value resistor,  if you do that.

I find that modern, tiny components are harder to identify, and thus 
easier to confuse, than their huge 1960s ancestors were.

Doing the inventory also encourages patience, rather than the get 'er 
done fast approach which leads to sorrow.
