I think the basic kit is around 40 hours. I built mine in around 30, but sat for 3-6 hours at a time. I was a test builder. I didn't follow one of the highly recommended instructions, do a parts inventory first. All I did is sort and be sure I knew what few parts there were that I didn't recognize were just to be sure I did not screw up. There were no inventory issues. Radio worked super through the build.

Has there been any collection of building time stats on the K2. I was wonder if there was an average time and I would expect a moderately large standard deviation. My kit experience is K3, KX1, NORCAL 40A, and several other smaller things. The K2 would definitely be the largest kit considering that the K3 was non-soldering. My K3 time was about average, about 8 1/2 hours. I never did time the KX1 because it was spread out over several weeks (I traveled a lot for work during that time). 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
