After a lot of consideration and a good bit of encouragement from several members of this group, I have ordered a K2 with essentially all options except for the 100W module. I had recently purchased a pre-built example of each Elecraft rig (KX1, K1, K2) and after looking them over closely decided I have good enough eyesight to tackle the job myself. I picked up a new magnifier hood and that seems to do the trick.
So.... I'll be starting the kit in a month or so after I get some other matters taken care of, and really look forward to building something I can truly call my own. The folks at Elecraft plus the great folks here make a support system second to none. In the meantime, I'll be revving up my prebuilt K2 (#1696) to current specs. One last thing... we all like to make jokes about the XYL and how they carry on about our interest in these noisy boxes we like to spend hours hovering over. I have to say that I'm very fortunate in having a YL that encourages me in this and told me to quit wondering if I could do it, but to just get a K2 and build it! Yes, dear.... 73/72, Ron WA5VFA _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
