I would like to emphasize Ian's comments on doing an inventory, and IMHO,
the most important part is knowing where the components are when each is
needed.
Myself -- I no longer do a complete inventory because I have many spare
parts that I can use if one is missing, but most builders are not in

How can 'missing' parts be found if everything has been
identified, checked off and catalogued?
Not sure I understand your question. Obviously, everything wasn't found at
the time they were inventoried. Some parts were noted as missing during the
inventory, then found later.
I don't remember
Right on, Ian!
So far, in three Elecraft kits, I've had one missing component -- the K2
binocular core, and I got it from [EMAIL PROTECTED] well before I
needed it.
That said, the single largest value to me of the complete inventory is
assuring that I really know what each part looks like!
I have built fourteen K2's, four K1's
and four KX1's and have found only one component missing.
Oh and also I
have built a slew of options and never found a part missing.

It only takes about an hour to do the inventory and it is
well worth the time spent.
Seems like you contradict

Just in case anybody thought this was an argument in favor of *not*
doing the inventory, when I finished the RF board inventory I came up

Very nice job, Maggie. Your sense of humor always shines through on the
reflector. I'm sure the presentation itself was great fun to see.

Hi Ian,
The Thermal insulator pads (located in the Serial# Pack) are listed in the

Instead of one big box-o-stuff for the K2, it would have
delays.
