I'm in the home stretch of building my K2, and wanted to point out
something that might help others as they assemble the transmitter portion
of the radio.
C135 ("103"), which sits adjacent to the 2D heat sink fastener, needs to be
installed as close to the board as possible. Check that it is lower than
the 2D fastener, otherwise the heat sink panel may not make good contact
with Q7 and Q8. My C135 sat a tiny bit higher than the 2D block; I ended
up shaving a very thin layer of the capacitor body with a razor blade so
that it cleared the 2D fastener.
