[Elecraft] [K2] What a feeling!!! No smell, no smoke

[IZ2NYY]

Tonight i enjoyed (really) the first tests of my k2 #6995. The anxious moments in which i gave the power supply for the first time to' my baby.....no smell, no smoke!! WOW
What a music for my ears those clicks from the relays, what a beautiful green that wonderfull display, what smoothness that encoder. Yen i know i'm terribly romantic, but it has been a great moment in my short life of ham radio operator.
The only disappoint was to a passage of manual: in the first step of tests we must be sure of putting s1 on off position and give supply, then the manual says that we should see info102 on the display and so on. Only on the next step it says to put on on position s1!!!! In my condition of newbie i was terrified by the fact that in this way nothing happens till when you switch on s1. A bit of fear, a bit of brain and......switch on that baby, c'mon!!! That's all there, well done! At lesa till now ;D
