Sean,
For a first time builder, I recommend you simply follow the instructions
in the manual. There are only a few components that require desoldering
when adding the options .
I would suggest that you add the Front Panel components for the KSB2
option while you have the Front Panel Board open.
The K2 manual has a page that will lead you to the proper time to
consider the installation of modules.
Do *not* attempt to install the K60XV until you are completely finished
with the K2 assembly, alignment and test. That option changes the
alignment and operation for 40 meters, so don't do that until your base
K2 is complete.
If you are a very experienced builder and can successfully juggle
instructions between two documents at once to determine the before and
after changes and resolve any conflicts, then I would reconsider my
advice above.

I am building the K2 along with options KDSP2, KSB2, K160RX, & K60XV, and I
would like to avoid desoldering parts as much as possible.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to which parts of the options it is OK to add
as I am building the RF board?
Is it safe to add any of the larger capacitors from the add-on kits without
attaching the actual add-on boards for initial testing of the K2, or is that a
bad idea?
I am planning on installing all the Junction connectors and plugging in
temporary jumpers instead of soldering the jumpers directly to board. Is this
recommended/safe?
Thanks - Sean
