I think that building the K2 has to be an end in itself. I have more
pictures of various pieces taped to colored construction paper than I do
of the radio itself. Other pictures feature my method of winding
toroids. Then, at the end of building, you step over the "building
finish line" to discover that you own one of the really great radios in
the history of amateur radio. Then the operating fun begins.

Beyond that, the manuals are VERY detailed and for most part as complete as one

step back and think like you are just starting and reread and recheck every
step. When you do, it IS a very rewarding experience and LOTS of FUN.

If you are interested in building as well as operating it's a pleasant
experience. Just like a 10 mile hike, you do it one simple, easy step at a
time.
Those who seem to have had trouble just wanted a K2 to operate and tried to
put the kit together as quickly as possible without double-checking their
work at each step along the way.

I bought a used k2 and just spent 12 hrs building a Kant-100.
The k2 looks like a bigger challenge .
Mine had the 100w amp included.
