Good morning, I am in the final stages of building my K2. Previously I have also built both a K1 and a KX1. The best general advice that I can offer to you is to read the assembly instructions very carefully. Elecraft has done a very good job producing accurate and detailed instructions which, if carefully followed, should produce good results for you. I usually read through the next page or two of instructions before going back and actually doing the step-by-step work. Their instructions are usually very clear but sometimes I have had to read one a couple of times before actually understanding what I was supposed to do. Even with careful reading of the instructions you might still be confused sometimes. I would suggest that you then post a question and not try to continue on with the work until you get your question answered. By the way, you have not actually been sending your questions to Elecraft. You have been posting them to an email list that is made up of owners of Elecraft products. It is an excellent source for help because there is probably someone on the list who has experienced about every issue that you are likely to face. The Elecraft company can also offer email help at supp...@elecraft.com. Now, regarding your specific question... I think that I understand what happened with your green filter. The adhesive is more of a tacky goo that can accidentally be peeled off of the green plastic. On mine it started to come off with the paper but I caught it in time. Under your circumstances I think that what you did with the glue will probably work OK. One last suggestion. It would be nice to have you include your name and callsign in your postings to the email list. Most of the people on the list are on a first name basis and it just keeps everything sounding more friendly. Good luck with your K2. 73, Paul - N8XMS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
