K2 #4962

[Ian Stirling, G4ICV, AB2GR]

Hello all,

My K2 kit arrived at noon today. I ordered the bare K2
and the 160m addition.

  I have made an inventory of the K2 parts and put
them into a lot of partitions in a component cabinet.
 All the differing values of, for example, the small
blue capacitors are in separate partitions, although
they contain other components that cannot be confused
with them.  I have marked Appendix A with the locations
of all the parts.
  I have not checked the miscellaneous bag yet, but all
of the other parts are present and correct.
   Tomorrow, I'll switch on my soldering iron.

 I'm really looking forward to hearing the K2 receiver.
My benchmark RX is an Eddystone EA12,
 (bought from Tom Roberts, G3YTO, SK 1985, in 1978)
 and I have high hopes that the K2 RX will eclipse the
EA12.

I just installed the optional spinner dimple on K2 4890..  Wow, two thumbs
up!  Yeeehaw!

OBTW, 4890 is completed minus the option boards.  I am very pleased with
it's performance both xmt & rcv.  Thanks to both Gary Surrency and Tom
Hammond for the helpful correspondence.

I get a LOT of entertainment out of building Elecraft kits.. they are an
extremely good value when you calculate in the fun times spent building
them.   I can't wait till Elecraft releases a second generation upscale to
the K2..  It will be an absolute must have!
