K2 #6980 Current Errata

Hi Stan,

Please could you point me in the direction of the revision G-11 of March 10? I
have #6998. It was delivered with the G-10 errata, but looking on the Elecraft
website in the manual section, its only rev G-10 of October 20 2009 listed as
current. Is the new revision hidden somewhere else?

Many thanks,

John

Current kits are apparently being shipped with Errata dated Rev. G-10,
October 20, 2009 enclosed when in fact the current errata is Rev. G-11
dated March 10. My #6980 was shipped July, 2010, well after the March
revision.

I incorrectly assumed G-10 was OK and it resulted in some inventory
problems for me.

Anyone with a recent kit would be well advised to check this out

Re: K2 #6980 Current Errata

John,

I don't understand the rationale behind your quest.

Normally, one should use the errata sheet that is packed with your kit.
Unless some error was made in packing, that errata pertains to your kit
at the time it was packed. Attempting to use an errata sheet that
applies to kits packed later can lead to confusion.

Consider that many (most) errata items cover parts changes rather than
procedural changes, if parts changes happened after your kit was packed,
a later errata sheet will not be correct for your kit.

If you have specific questions about a part when you do the inventory,
then pose those questions to [hidden email] and you should obtain
a specific answer.

In reply to this post by VK7JB

Don and John, the source of the G11 Errata was Gary Surrency of
Elecraft. G10 was packed with my kit; G10 is also the only one on the
Elecraft website. Thus, there is no "source" to which I can point you
to download a copy other than to contact [hidden email]. As a
customer, I had no way of knowing there was a G11.

The reason I became embroiled in this is because after my inventory, I
ended up with six .001 capacitors and no designations for them. G11
fixes that problem.

I did not mean to cause any confusion here.
