[Elecraft] Getting ready to order a K2 - which options

[Robert G. Strickland]

I second this suggestion. When I built my K2 I used the "Rework Eliminators." Using 
them doesn't impede normal construction of the K2, and later, when new modules are 
added, they/it makes the addition(s) so very much easier. Strong recommendation.
