Hi Cathy, I built my K1 back in 2004 and kept very careful records of my construction time. It took me 30 hours for my 4-band version without the ATU. That included everything from opening the shipping container to the final cover screw. It also included the set-up and clean-up times for each building session that are required in my situation because I don't have a place where projects can just be left out. I do have other kit building experience but the K1 was my first "big" project. I'm sure that it can be built in a lot less time but I tend to go slow and stretch it out. I probably enjoy the building as much as I enjoy the operating. So it's kind of like eating a good dessert - you can eat it fast or slow down and enjoy each bite!
