I'm currently building up the KPA100 for my K2 and am becoming inceasingly frustrated at my own inability to locate component sites on the board.

If somebody has the expertise, time and willingness, a great tool would be a web site where you could simply type in U1, R12, C34 or whatever and obtain an image of the board with a dot, crosshair or whatever identifying the component's location.

As an alternative, you can download the manual in PDF format from the Elecraft website. KPA100 man rev C.pdf is the current version.

You can then do a search using Acrobat and it will find the part for you.

For example, display the page in the manual with the component layout (page 66) and then use the Edit -> Find command in Acrobat and type in what you are looking for, say C12. The cursor will jump to C12 and highlight it for you on the parts placement drawing.

It may not find the parts on the bottom of the board (Q4, for example) but there are only a few parts there and its failure is a clue that the part is on the bottom.
