I liked the rework eliminators. If I am troubleshooting the rig or adding features, it is just an unplug and a plug. I do not have to take the rig apart, remove or add hard ware to the circuits to add features. I think they are well worth the minor added cost. After damaging my DSP, I was a

Don raises a very good point here: > The idea is that the base K2 should be tested before any changes for options are made. Doing the rework eliminators departs from this recommendation. Gary & crew publish a very complete set of instructions for how to modify your K2 manual prior to building t

Hello DW, There are a few people who are making things for the K2 that are not provided by Elecraft that provide additional capabilities and convenience - these are individuals, like Gary Hvizdak, Don Wilhelm, Mike Phipps and Jack Smith, who don't sell a lot of their products and don't mak

There is no real need for the UNPCBs whether one has ordered all the options or not. When building the K2, follow the instructions in the manual. There is an optimum time to install the parts for the different options and the manual tells you when to do that. I would suggest only one excepti

Bruce, I suggest that you download the manuals (or use your existing ones) for each option and review the installation steps. The parts lists also show the part numbers for the headers and standoffs and other parts required. The 'short' list is as follows: K160RX - header, standoff and 3 capacit
