Oh, yea, if you can build a K1, you can build a K2. I build a K2 with very little experience and it worked perfectly first time. I did have one issue where the S-meter quit working but it only needed a few solder joints redone and has worked fine ever since. Not really knowing what I was doing, I was forced to read and follow the directions to a T. When it said "cut a piece of green hookup wire to 3 inches long and strip 3/16 inch off one end", I did my cutting and striping to within 1/16 inch.
I'm guessing that guys who get in trouble with building an Elecraft rig are those who don't pay attention to every detail, those who rush, those who "know what they're doing" and therefore skip ahead, those who aren't watching the details to make sure the diodes go in the right holes with the right orientation or who don't spend the time making sure the caps are the right ones. IMHO of course. I did buy pre-wound toroids to tip the scales in my favor though. - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - -----Original Message----- From: Lynn Lovell ... now need to convience myself I can manage to build a K2... _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
