[Elecraft] [K2] #6936: IF AGC Amp SMT1 missing from RF board inventory check

[OZ2BRN Brian Lodahl]

  No worries, guys. this is not yet setting me back, at least :-)

I will complete 100% the inventory check before I proceed to contact 
Elecraft customer service, that is certain. It is just that I have, as 
probably many of us, mistakenly been missing "stuff" until now, only to 
realize that this was safely packed away in another envelope etc. And - 
I must admit much to the appreciation of the Elecraft staff - this is 
until now also the only thing I have found missing.

I have a little DX-pedition coming up next week anyway, visiting my 
sister state-side, so I need not worry about delayed shipments overseas 
etc., as I will anyway wait with the last part of the build until I 
return back again.
I will in this case off course arrange for the shipment with US mail to 
my temporary address in US, so that I can bring home with me the missing 
part(s).
