I am sorry to hear about your misfortune with the shipping. But congratulations on deciding to build the K2. I built my K2/100 with most accessories several years ago. It did take a while because I decided to go slowly and carefully. But it was very satisfying to see what was originally a large collection of parts gradually morph into a recognizable radio. It was even more satisfying when I applied power the first time and it did what it was supposed to do! In the end I had a very nice radio indeed. If you take it easy and carefully check what you do you should have no problems. I wish you the best of luck. There a lot of very knowledgeable people on this reflector who will gladly help if you do run into any problems.

Good morning,some of you may remember I bought a used bare bones K2 on ebay about two weeks ago-s/n 5801.It was completely destroyed,according to FedEx!Well,after much thought and consideration,I decided to go the kit route! I received my new K2 yesterday-s/n 6576 from Elecraft! Iam no electrical or electronics engineer,I built some kits as youngster,and a few more the last few years(very simple and basic).I can solder,and read directions,so I figure that's half the battle in building the K2!It looks a little overwhelming at this point,but I think Iam ready to tackle this BIG project!Hopefully,I won't run into any problems,but I know where to turn if I do.I'll let everyone know when its up and running.73 de Ed N7EDK Marana,AZ. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
