"DETAILED INVENTORY"? No. However I am a pretty experienced builder/home brewer which may have influenced my decision. My inventory consisted of separating things like hardware, resisters, electrolytic caps, etc, into large piles of like parts PER ASSEMBLY section. I did this using a commercial egg carton (has 30 depressions) I picked up from a local diner. I built 1 assembly at a time, leaving the remaining assemblies still in their unopened packaging.
If you notice, the instructions have you put all (or a bunch of) the resisters in at once, or all the caps. When I got to that particular step I would then detail inventory before performing that step. Then I would solder all the parts at once. I also found a couple of parts missing BUT, since I had bought 2 K2s at once, I took the parts from the second one, to complete the step in the first one. So for me no waiting for parts being sent. However, even if I did not have that luxury, the replacements came very fast without question. My K2 has all options except the 100W amp (I only wanted mine for QRP), so it's pretty full in there! So out of the 1000s of parts I received I was amazed at how well these kits are packed.
