Rolf:
On the other hand, you are spending lots of money on the radio, possibly
over $1500 depending on the accessories you end up buying. Plus
you'll be investing several weeks of your time in the project. Earlier
this week, there were several notes about a grounded tip soldering
station that was very reasonably priced. Of course you might succeed in
building the K2 with an ungrounded soldering station, but you also might
be kicking yourself down the road when you turn it on and find out you
need to spend several more days troubleshooting the rig, buying a good
desoldering tool, and possibly waiting for replacement parts, all
because you zapped a part with your ungrounded soldering station.
Whatever your decision, good luck with the build.

How you folks have managed with no-ESD-soldering stations?
Hello, Rolf, nice to see you here too! 8-)
I built my KX1 with a no-ESD Weller (can't remember model no.) on a wooden
table covered with a slightly damp flat sponge.
