Evening Craig, I've built the K2 with nearly all the mods for it, a K1 with a couple of the mods for it, now doing the KX1 and DSP for the K2. I can only remember one time that I was missing any parts..and I just happen to have those parts in my junk box.
Not sure how many kits you have built over the years...I've done quite a few in the last 30+ and no matter who I got the kit from, there has been a time or two that I was missing something. Having said that and been down this road enough to know that no matter how hard you try, there is always a chance that a piece here and there might come up missing. With Elecraft, I found a simple e-mail to them was all it takes to get my missing part(s)... and I had the confirmation with a day or two that the part was being shipped and it was here within a week. I hope your not discouraged by any of this and allow yourself to enjoy the building process and even more fun is the operating it once it is done. Not since my Heathkit days have I found a company who is more into taking care of their customers than Elecraft is...and they have been that way since day one. Let us know when the rig is done and on the air so we can work you. 72's...Mike, WB8ICN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Rairdin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 8:45 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K1 missing parts - is this to be expected? > Just spent my first hour with my K1 kit.
