Herb: Congratulations on getting you license. I'm in the middle of building a K2 and having a great time with it.
If you watch the e-mail reflector, there are not really that many problems being posted. Most of the messages (excluding the net schedules, for sale and contest items) are responses to questions. I've posted one queston here, and received two responsed within 2 hours, and several more over ths next two days. So far I have no regets about the K2 decision. That siad you may want to consider starting with a simpler kit. There are a lot of others available. Small Wonders Labs http://www.smallwonderlabs.com/ makes several nice kits for under $100.00 I built one of thier kits as practice for the K2. TenTec http://www.tentec.com/ also has kits, including a 2-meter transcevier that you could use immediatly. When you are ready to upgrade to General and looking for a HF radio the K2 is one of the best available, and the support is excellent. Any way, good luck with what ever you decide, and welcome again to Ham radio. 73 Mike, W8ENG ---- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 11:48 AM Subject: [Elecraft] troubles with kits I am Herb Winn a new ham (kc8ylj).

Is this common ? if so i'm not going to try a kit.
