Yep .. been there, .. done that ... waited for the replacement from
California ... <sigh> ... and as Richard points out, finished mine with
timely advice from Don.
FWIW .. its often faster to email to [email protected], as Don
usually answers within a few hours or less.

Having done exactly the same thing (putting P1 on the wrong side of the board)
my email to Elecraft support resulted in a very fast and helpful response. A
quick email should get you going again.
Having completed the K2 now (with some very accurate and timely advice from Don
W)- it was fun to build and is great to use especially in the field.

Even a perfectionist can screw up now and then, right?
I installed P1, a 20 pin male, right angle pin connector, to the RF board, on
the FRONT side, when the instructions clearly state
“Position 20-pin male right-angle connector P1 on the bottom of the board.” Ok,
I can deal with the whoop-see, just
DE solder, pull it out, and install a new right-angle connector. O’boy, DE
solder trick didn’t go so well, P1 ended up in pieces.
No problem, I have other right-angle pin connectors, just use them! But, after
installing, the replacements are about 1/16” shorter
in length, and don’t go into J1 as far. Hello Huston, NOW we have a problem!
The front panel is NOT getting any power!
I need a new P1, part # E620029. Other than that, the build is going great! Do
I need to send an email to Elecraft parts department?
Comments are appreciated! Be kind, please, Thanks!
