[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 7615

[Fred Jensen]

I'm really sorry your K2-build didn't go well. If you really want to 
trash it, I'll pay the postage, send it to me. :-)  There are a number 
of builders on this list, there's a compendium of them on the Elecraft 
web site [or was], and they range from building a kit from opening the 
boxes to finishing kits half-built.

I really recommend you investigate that, I love my K2 [4398], and it has 
gotten a lot of field use and on summits.  It's a great little radio you 
can hold in one hand with amazing operating characteristics.
