Jim:
I guess my approach would be to buy and build the basic K2 first. My S/N
3401 just missed having the temperature stability mod included (I think
they started with S/N 3425 or so). Anyway, the only mod I ended up
making on it was that one. I am totally happy with the radio in that
configuration. Looking back on things, I probably didn't even need the
temp stability mod, since I'm not planning to add the amplifier. I added
several options, but have made no other "mods". I've heard the key click
mod is another important one, and I might end up building that one, but
for now I'm happy with what I have.
I believe that if there were truly any important mods that needed to be
made before the radio performed well, they would have been included with
the basic kit. It works well right out of the box - after many hours of
soldering (hi).
My 2 cents worth.

How does one determine which should/need be purchased?
If needed why are they not included with the
appropriate kit? It appears I could spend a hundred
dollars or more on modifications to make a new radio
work. That could wreck my radio budget.
Thanks for the help,
Jim, AB0UK
