I too built my K-2 and all accessories with the RS soldering iron. However, after reading all the interesting stuff on this reflector, including the Hakko desoldering iron, I finally bought a soldering station from Hakko and I can testify that soldering life will never be the same. Incredible diff

If you knew the value of the 'resistors' that were going to live there, and you had them in your stash, you could install them in the proper place and put a jumper across them on the other side of the board. Then when it came time to install the other board, just clip the jumpers (or unsolder if y

Jon: If you are sure you intend to buy the audio filter, you can buy the kit now and install the proper connectors right away. You can then use a couple of scrap resistor leads as jumpers to make the required connections - the same as if you had the audio filter installed and wanted to remove

Hi folks: The quest to transform K2 S/N 3460 into something greater than the sum of its parts has finally begun in earnest. I am working on the Control Board right now. I just want to confirm the assembly instructions: R18 and R19 are basically resistors with value of 0 (zero) ohms. So you solde
