K2 Build ideas and suggestions...

[EMD]

I have decided that I would like to build a QRP K2.  With that in mind these are the options that I would like to include in order: KSB2,KAT2,KDSP2,K160RX, and the KIO2.  I would like to include the KSB2 and the KAT2 in the initial build.  I have limited experience but with the reflectors help was able to complete a KX1 with minimal trouble.  Or would it be better to add the options once I have a basic K2 complete?

Found the answer on page 14 of the K2 reflector sight so I have got the answer to my question.

Thanks

  Ed,

I would suggest following the instructions in the K2 manual.  There is a
page near the end of construction which indicates a very good time to
install the headers for the options.
For the list of options that you have, it would be beneficial to install
the AUX RF header and the header for the K160RX before you install the
heat sink - don't forget to add the capacitors for the 160 meter option
at the same time.  Once those items are installed, all the other options
you mentioned can be installed by removing only the bottom cover.

You will want to install the KSB2 before you do the final filter alignment.
