All, Being in the electronics biz, we usually wash boards post assembly with the usual products and in accordance with IPC610, etc. Often, the boards are sprayed with conformal coating: Some to handle "condensing environments" and others just because someone wanted it. My operating locations will include salty beaches and moist mountains.
I couldn't find details in the K2 manual concerning these steps. I did find a few posts in old Elecraft archives, but need to ask... Are there any components used in the K2 boards that will not tolerate typical board washing procedures? (Most modern components expect this step, but some don't - often switches) Is there any reason not to conformal coat the boards once complete? (Cost is no object to make this last a long time in beach environments) Thanks.
