K2 -Construction photos?

stan levandowski

Good evening, folks.  Can someone point me toward a source of some more
recent contstruction photos for the K2, especially the Control Board.  I
just compared mine to the K2 Builder's Manual and my Rev B3r board
doesn't match what's in the Elecraft photo (their board looks like it
says, "Rev XB".

I thought there might be some photos on the Elecraft Website but either
there's none there, or I didn't look in the right place.

  Thanks!

  Stan,

While there are slight differences between the Rev A and Rev B Control
boards (a pot for the AGC Threshold instead of a fixed resistor as a
"for instance"), please tell us what you are specifically looking for.
If you followed the instructions carefully, it should be assembled
properly.  You will have some components on the back side for the Keying
Waveshape components that are not on the Rev A photos, but again, if you
followed the instructions properly, you will end up with a working board.

If you have specific questions, we are likely to be able to help.  I do
not know of a source for photos of assembled Rev B boards.  Maybe
someone who has documented their construction of a recent K2 will
volunteer, but in the meantime, we can respond to specific
questions/confusions.

73,
Don W3FPR
