[Elecraft] K2 first power on test without relays

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

You will need the VFO Range select relays to get any VFO frequency that 
is usable, and you need the bandpass filter relays to establish a path 
through the BPF, and you will need the LPF relays to get a proper path 
through the LPF.  So get all the relays in before attempting any testing.

Also won't have 1n5871 sb530 yet either.  I realize preatt bands and other switches won't work yet.  And the diode was reverse polarity protection for battery input.  My plan was to install relays as I need em.  Would wait but anxious to try out tricolor led bargraph and see it come on
