[Elecraft] New K2 build

[gt-i at gmx.net]

Bruce,
I built mine in 2001, and as far as I remember I had the same situation 
with the options. Since you have the options, sneak-preview into them 
and read what and how the parts have to be removed. Then you get an idea 
how to install them in a way you can removed them without putting harm 
to the main pcb. One obvious measure is to not push down the resistors 
or jumpers to the pcb, rather leave some space.
Happy building!
Gernot DF5RF K2 #2328 (+KAT,KBAT, KSB,KNB,KDSP,KXV60,K160RX,my own 
buffered IF-out with a Softrock RX Lite attached, my own Keyout)
