I have built 4 K2s. I built 3 just for the pure pleasure of
participating in the engineering art that the K2 represents. The key to
success is to not watch the clock; to not consider time at all when
performing the assembly steps. As in many things in life, you should
focus solely on the current step and current component. Do not think of
the next step or steps later on, or even finishing. Place each component
with all the care you can. One mistake resulting from rushing will cause
you frustration and disappointment. The greatest sense of satisfaction
you can experience when your are finished is to know that you did
everything to highest degree of perfection you are capable of.

If you are interested in building as well as operating it's a pleasant

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.

Subject: [Elecraft] Re who would spend 30 hours building a k2?
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.
