K2 #5944 is up & running. For me, the challenge is to see if I can build one of these things without making any mistakes. Succeeded with the Norcal 40A, and also with the K1. But with the K2, I met my match. The preamp wasn't working, and sure enough, after checking the Elecraft e-mail list for hints, discovered that I had reversed leads 1 & 2 on T6. Cut out the toroid, cleared the holes, rewound the turns, reinstalled, and problem solved. I tried the AF1 to see how much difference it makes, compared with the crystal filters. It is somewhat better, though not dramatically. Nice radio, lots of fun building and operating.
