So, how easy is it to build the K2? So easy, you can do it when you're too sick to go to work :-)
I'm not a kit builder. I built my K2 because I couldn't afford to pay to have it done. I bought the pre-wound toroids and recommend them highly. I also bought the unPCB kit which actually made the build time longer due to initial prep work, but created a K2 that was more to my liking. Anyway, about the time the K2 arrived I got sick. I was tired, and my head was full of snot. One of those nasty colds where all you can do is watch soap operas. Guess what, I found that the K2 took about the same effort as watching TV. Read 1 paragraph. Blow nose. Find a part. Locate the target location on the board. Blow nose. Mount part, double check orientation, solder part. Blow nose. Check off step in the manual. I move slowly and deliberately. It took me about 40 hours of build time with my basic K2. I filled 1/2 a paper shopping bag with Kleenex and had a wonderful K2 that worked perfectly the first time. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- > > Nice to have the K3 assembly information.
