The only possibly complicated spot in the ssb board is a tiny surface-mount component, which is itself mounted on a small circuit board that needs to be literally wired in place. Otherwise, as Bill says, the packing density is high, but it goes together without trouble.
The ATU is very straightforward, and is moreover a very (extremely) useful add-on. I found it fun to build. (In fact, the whole K2 + accessories experience was quite enjoyable -- I built the ATU, the SSB, the 100 watt unit, and the 10 watt unit slowly and deliberately, and was delighted with the end product. The precision with which the units went together was very pleasant compared to the many Heathkits I built earlier in another life.
