I just completed my K2, and I inventoried the components for each board as I progressed through the kit.
To echo others, the inventory does help you organize and recognize the components. And yes, I did discover a couple of missing components for the RF board. However, they were not needed until later in the build and Elecraft got them to me in plenty of time. 73 Don W4DHH On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 4:06 PM, stan levandowski <sjl...@optonline.net>wrote: > Hello.
