Congratulations on your accomplishment. Last spring a group of students in my electronics class undertook the challenge of building a K2 (SN6281) It is now part of ARS KI6PRK at Dos Pueblos high school in Goleta CA. It was completed just before school let out for the summer and the new classes are just getting used to it. 3 students from last year are still on campus and currently taking the classes along with 17 of their classmates. We have done a little hamming and have two students nearing there general exams. Latest news is I have acquired a 60 ft tubular crank-up tower for the club station. Donated by K6HOZ, who has moved to Las Vegas to run his business, he needed to remove it from the prior residence. It's nice to have generous friends. My K3, sn 31 has spent many hours in the classroom also. FYI, the students who built ranged in age from 15 to 17 and did all the work themselves. My contribution was to post an inquiry on this list when it was deemed necessary to reset the firmware. One problem was experienced and fixed when I admonished them to review the assembly instructions to the letter and they found they had wound a toroid on the SWR bridge backwards, the one place that it is crucial.
