Hi Lee I built one of the early field test K2s, so we had to add the options as they came along. Adding them is pretty trivial. In some cases, a few components to be added to the radio, or perhaps some component changed to a different value. Absolutely nothing difficult at all.
I suggest you decide how you want to operate your rig when it's finished, then add the options in order of your priorities. I think the slickest option is the KAT2 internal antenna tuner, followed by the KDSP2 DSP audio filter and noise reducer. If you like to work 160m you have to add that option also, but it's just a little board that mounts in the rear of the main RF board. Anyway, just enjoy the fun of building your K2. Don't rush, because when it's done, you'll be looking around for something else to build :-) 73, Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rockinghorse Winner Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 9:07 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Ready to start, but one question... Hi all. I have a few extra dolars and a cold apartment, and am ready to start on my K2. However, my funds do not extend to all the extras like the KPA-100, DSP, KAT, etc... so I was interested in knowing how extensive and difficult is the retrofitting of these modules vis a vis desoldering.
