[Elecraft] [K2] Kit Building Time ?

[Bill (K9YEQ)]

I think the basic kit is around 40 hours.  I built mine in around 30, but
sat for 3-6 hours at a time.  I was a test builder.  I didn't follow one of
the highly recommended instructions, do a parts inventory first.  All I did
is sort and be sure I knew what few parts there were that I didn't recognize
were just to be sure I did not screw up.  There were no inventory issues.
Radio worked super through the build.

Has there been any collection of building time stats on the K2.  I was
wonder if there was an average time and I would expect a moderately large
standard deviation.

My kit experience is K3, KX1, NORCAL 40A, and several other smaller things.
The K2 would definitely be the largest kit considering that the K3 was
non-soldering.  My K3 time was about average, about 8 1/2 hours.  I never
did time the KX1 because it was spread out over several weeks (I traveled a
lot for work during that time).
