I think (not sure here) the techniques and needed skills are the same with the K2 or K1. The difference is just scale. The K2 is just more of the same. Of course, more means there is more chance to do something wrong, but I don't think the K1 is any easier (or tougher) to build, just shorter.
I've not built a K1, only a K2 plus a few accessories. I found I did a better job on the K2 than the KPA100 simply because I was scared to death by the K2 so I worked slowly, READ and FOLLOWED all the instructions to a "T" and made only 1 mistake (one part in the wrong place). With the KPA100 I was a bit more confident and made more mistakes. Same with the AF mini-module. It is small and should have been a perfect build but lack of attention to detail caused me to put one part in the wrong place. You can always hire someone to build it for you. There is no shame in that, some of us like to build, some don't. Either way, we can all enjoy a great radio. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Vavra What is the level of difficulty in contructing the K1 compared to the K2? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
