Yes, I spent a lot of good quality time with the encoder installation and it came out fine in the end. To be honest, all these "problems" have nothing to do with the kit - it's more I've made more mistakes with this one than my first K2 build.
On the other hand, the mistakes I have made have been the most instructive. When I've messed something up or something didn't look right (like a possibly bridge solder connection), I'd simply stop and go study the schematic. I'd spend some time there, then go google "PLL synthesizer" or "contact debouncing" or "why do relay coils have diodes across them". Then come back to the schematic and see how Wayne and Eric did it. and so forth. So my screwups have actually really helped me learn all the stuff I should have actually learned when I took my Extra hi hi. And chances are, with these messups, I'm probably going to learn something else in addition. I hope the rig works at the end too, that would really be gravy! 73, LS W5QD. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-build-from-purgatory-tp7616239p7616263.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
