All,
I posted this yesterday, but somehow it didn't
make it to the list:
------------ snip -------------------
K2 SSB Adapter....
...Is in hand. Looks like quite a little project. The workbench is
cleared off, soldering iron
loaded with its smallest tip, Panavise in place & grounded, anti-static
strap hooked up.
....Lemme at it!

------------- endsnip -------------------
Am about halfway through stuffing the circuit board. Installed most
of the caps, ICs, resistors.
A few parts, I put off installing because they are at the very edge of
the card, and would prevent me from
holding it in the Panavise. Each part that I did not install, I put a
big circle around in the manual. When everything else is stuffed, I'll
go back and install those.
One of the resistors went *SPOING* and flew across the garage.
Luckily, I have complete stock of all the common values of jelly-bean
1/4W resistors.
I shouldn't have to do much to the base K2, because it already had
the SSB installed - somebody had removed it and reinstalled the bridging
cap. I will
however need to pull the control board and pull a couple of jumpers off
the microphone jumpers array - that will be my excuse to treat the
control board to a good scrub with alcohol.
