While the Owners Manual is indeed super, the single largest aid for me
was having all the resistors taped in the order of insertion. I'm
colorblind, I checked each with the ohmmeter as I was about to select it
[normal procedure for me], but that one thoughtful feature removed a
huge number of possibly screw-ups for me while building it, had I been
required to sort them all out in advance. Mine worked perfectly when I
first went through the test procedures.
Nice work guys!

Many customers have teamed up with their kids or grandkids on the build. In my

install parts.
That, in fact, is pretty easy. One of the best things about the K2 is the
assembly manual:
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740001_K2%20Owner%27s%20Manual%20Rev%20I.pdf
The manual is written in tutorial style, including finer points like the
resistor color code, photos of all parts and modules, and detailed signal
tracing/troubleshooting instructions. The manual has been refined to the point
that it’s virtually foolproof. Of course if you have any difficulties, you can
always ask a question on the Elecraft reflector, day or night, or check in with
customer support.
