That's the good news, now for the rest of the story.
I received the K2 about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I started putting it together (without inventorying - hey the other two had all the parts so why not this one). Went all the way to Part 1 alignment. Ut -ow, I had two right side panels. No problem, emailed parts and they sent the side along via Priority Mail. So let's keep going. Ow no, I put an MV209 in backwards, removing it I broke a lead off. Ok, parts will send one along. Two weeks later, I'm still waiting. Good thing I found one at a friends house in his diode parts. So let's continue the building. Need to put the four 1-30pf caps in. Lets see, they should be here in the pan with the 50's right. No, none there, not even one. Ok, lets call parts. Oh, we're out of the 1-30's so we'll send some 1-40's along. OK, WHY WEREN'T THOSE INCLUDED IN MY KIT? Well guess what, they sent them along first class mail, 5 days with nothing to do but wait so I could finish this radio. Well they got here today. Now it's finished and on the air. Now I have to build the SSB, noise blanker & 100A mods.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Elecraft. But sometimes you only hear the good stories. This one is not so good, I'm afraid.
