Thank you to all who responded both on- and off- list. It was very helpful to receive different insights. It was apparent that I am not the only builder who has struggled with the inventory issue, so I guess I had a legitimate query.
We can end this thread now. I know what I'm going to do. Thank you also for your good wishes as I begin my build. 2010 marks my 50th year in ham radio and this K2 is my gift to myself. I've built plenty of Heathkits over the years, homebrewed all kinds of stuff, and have been a strictly CW/Boat Anchor ham all this time. I've always enjoyed being able to build, understand, and repair my own gear. I've never had a rig with more than about 65 watts dc input (which would be about 30 watts out). So naturally, I ordered the barefoot K2, the autotuner, and the NB. But I'm sure going to miss my trusty old Weller 240 watt soldering gun with the worklight in the front, 1/8 inch thick solder, and components big enough to find if I happen to drop them.... Thanks again, everyone!
