FWIW, I think that this reflector is great and even though some of the
discussions sail right over my head that does not invalidate the
observations.
If we just don't let it get too personal we will all benefit.
Great reflector and great radio(s).

In reviewing the K2 manual prior to ordering/building I have noticed
that there are several
instructions to install a 'GROUP' of components then solder and trim the
leads. Wouldn't
this lead to missed solder connections or cause a less than perfect
soldered joint. I should
think like 'THE
My experience as well. I had missed a few if I placed too many at
once. I tried to do no more than three (e.g., resistors) at one time
prior to soldering. Double-check is a must.

I am one of the Turtles too. I also made sure I
selected the right component by checking it three
times before I put it in the hole. On resistors, I
actually measured the resistor with a meter to make
sure my eyes were not deceiving me. A magnifying
device is a MUST! I limited myself to three
That's the method I used as well, Craig. I would read the part, pick
it out of the labeled bin, verify the color code/part code/value with the
manual, insert, double check again between the manual and the board to make
sure things were as they should be and then move on to the next part.
Mike and all I built this unit to solder and identify components. I put in
a small TFT screen so I can monitor what I'm doing while sitting
straight-up. I get great magnification and can put in a vise to hold a
board while soldering.
My eyes got sore and I had headaches due to wearing
