Scott, never ship electronics with a battery installed unless you disconnect one lead from the battery so that there is not way it can energize in shipment. DO NOT RELY ON ANY!! SWITCH! We have shipped equipment all over the world and seen it accidentally turn itself on through vibration or switches that short, or take a blow and get broken. You can never predict what a unit may endure in shipping.
It only takes a moment to remove the covers of the K2 and reconnect a battery lead. Safety first! -Stuart K5KVH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
