[K2] K2/KPA100 build for K2-7006

[aj4tf]

So far so good.  The KPA100 passed the first functional test without
issue.  The only thing I have run into is that I was missing one small
capacitor, and one of the toroid cores was cracked... I didn't notice it
until I started winding it and it fell apart.  The Elecraft parts
department has an email in their in-box (two, actually).  

I am now up to the steps just after installing and winding the large
output transformer.

Kudos (again) for the excellent instructions!

73,

David Macchiarolo  AJ4TF

I'm sure you will get a replacement, but be aware that you can
super-glue a broken toroid together and it will work fine. Worth knowing
for emergencies or if you live in Bhutan.
