Same thing for working under the panel on a plane with the solder iron.
Your arms are up behind the panel while you lay on your back with your

Carpet is usually the least of my worries about loose solder bits. I'm

So, how easy is it to build the K2? So easy, you can do it when you're
too sick to go to work :-)
I'm not a kit builder. I built my K2 because I couldn't afford to pay
to have it done. I bought the pre-wound toroids and recommend them
highly. I also bought the unPCB kit which actually made the
My K2/10 took about 40 hours to complete. Every evening after work was spent

Jim,
Nice to have the K3 assembly information. Have you or anyone else noted
the time to assemble a K2? I hope to build one or the other sometime in
the not too distant future.
