[Elecraft] K2 - Protect those Finals

[dave]

Protecting the finals in a K2? Comes up often on this list? I don't 
recall that. Maybe you are thinking of another list or maybe you could 
copy some of these discussions for as a refresher for those of us who 
don't recall?

I've been reading this list for 10 years or so. I think a discussion 
of the finals has came up a couple of times. Those were usually where 
someone installed them incorrectly. Left out thermal pads or failed to 
retighten the screws after a few hours of operation. Follow the 
instructions and you'll be very unlikely to have any problems with the 
finals in a K2, or K1, or KPA100.
