[Elecraft] New K2 build

[Bruce McCartney]

I have taken advantage of Elecraft’s National Hobby Month offer and now have a K2 plus KSB2 SSB Option, KNB2 Noise Blanker, KAT2 20W Internal ATU to build.

My query is: do I build first the K2 transceiver as CW only, then add in the options as completed? 

From reading the manuals, components have to be removed from the completed K2 before the addition of some options.  It seems a shame to undo work.

Old blogs mention a Rework Eliminator kit which would have been a solution to my dilemma, but these are long since discontinued.

So, do I build first and add options later?  I'd be pleased to hear from other K2 builders.

I must add a huge kudos to both Elecraft and UPS - California to Scotland - 46 hours from ordering to delivery!  What service!

Thank you.
