John, Et Al,
I am reading some really good ideas. Here's one I used...
While building my KX-1: When I conducted my inventory, I taped the
resistors, inductors and capacitors right to the pages of the book.
Okay... A little funky, but 1) I knew the inventory was correct when I
was done (no open spaces!) and 2) where there is a question about a
component (some are different wattages or unusual markings), it helped
to see that I already had a space "filled." For large quantity
components, I had old plastic pill containers (I tend to knock things
over). 3) When the assembly instructions called for a component, I
pulled if from the tape. I could have also checked off the component ID
on the page. As it happens, I didn't do the checking off part, but a
more Monkish person might, and it might help keeping one from using the
wrong part (i.e., looking for L2 and seeing that it's missing...).
Anyway, it is a more through double check.
Hope that's helpful to someone... {'-)
Regards,
kurtt

OK so I have decided to buy the base K2 kit and build it along with my
son; He needs to see a process like this unfold.
I have read the various FAQs, tips, etc.
I am not new to kit building.
We have a good soldering station.
If the K2 works out well we will use it on CW for a while and then add
enhancements: SSB first then others (perhaps DSP, 160M, 60M-Xvrter,
100Watts)..
Are there tools or tips I am missing before I drop the coin?
John
