As someone who's built a K2/100 with ALL the options I don't remember
having a problem with any particular module. I thought the instructions
were top notch. All you have to do is follow the instructions after
applying the errata changes, do things in the right order, triple check
your soldering, and you shouldn't have a problem. It could be that the
level of "hand holding" changed on KSB2 because Elecraft rightly assumes
if you can build a K2 to this point the hand holding can be reduced.
~From what I've read on the reflector so far about the K3 it's easier to
put together than the K2/100 I built was. Basically if you can run a
screw driver and needle nose pliers competently your golden.
