Building Time for KPA 100

Joerg Tack
Hello fellow Elecrafters,

I am wondering about the building time for the KPA-100 for an experienced builder. The reason I ask ist that I'm thinking of upgrading my K2 and take the K2/100 with me on a trip but the time left is sort of tight.

I think there's no better place then here to ask experienced elecraft builders for there opinion. So, if you are an experienced builder:

How many hours would it take to assemble & test the KPA-100 assuming no major flaws introduced by the builder (= myself)?


I would appreciate any figures on or off list.


Thanks a lot,

Joe - DF7TH -
K2 #5396 / KX1 #1029

For me, the KPA-100 was one of the easier kits to build. Seems I  
remember the build time being less than 15 hours.

My experience was that the amplifier went together and just worked  
with no troubleshooting. If you can build the K2, you can easily  
build the KPA-100.
