[Elecraft] K2 Manual building method

[Harold Howells]

Hello and thanks in advance for your help.  I’m just getting going on my K2 build and I don’t understand the reasoning behind putting all the capacitors in the PCB, bending their leads to hold them in place, and then soldering them all at the end?  This seems to me create a big mess with components all out of whack.  What is the reason for doing it this way?   HH
