[Elecraft] K2 Build ideas and suggestions...

[Don Wilhelm]

  Ed,

I would suggest following the instructions in the K2 manual.  There is a 
page near the end of construction which indicates a very good time to 
install the headers for the options.
For the list of options that you have, it would be beneficial to install 
the AUX RF header and the header for the K160RX before you install the 
heat sink - don't forget to add the capacitors for the 160 meter option 
at the same time.  Once those items are installed, all the other options 
you mentioned can be installed by removing only the bottom cover.

You will want to install the KSB2 before you do the final filter alignment.

73,
