Hi John,
Wow. We've had almost 6000 KSB2s built over the past 9 years. This is
the first time I've seen a comment like this. If you are building the
KSB2 before your K2, that might explain some of the difference. For the
K2 options, we assume the builder has already built the K2 and has more
building experience as a result. We strongly recommend to all customers
that they build the basic K2 first, before options.

I am in the process of building my K2. This is my second Elecraft Kit
(XV222 being the other one.) The XV222 and K2 kits have great
directions that are very precise and call out the details of the
resistor color codes, the exact details of the capacitors, and other
items very well.
What the heck happened to the KSB2 kit? I am working on the Front
Panel Board Components on page 16 steps 3 & 4 that K2 book suggests
that you complete before moving on with the K2. The details on the
parts on page 16 are horrible compared to the standards that I have
seen in the other Elecraft documentation.
As someone that is working on building a fully loaded K2 +
transverters and starting to look at the K3 as the next big toy the
first steps of the KSB2 have left me with sudden negative impression.
Doing a quick spot check of the rest of the KSB2 manual some sections
seem like they are very detailed and the next chunk of components lack
that same detail. What happened to the quality control on this?
Thanks, JH
