KPA100: Rev D manual to build Rev C kit?

[Lambs, Dick & Judy]

I'm preparing to build a KPA100 from an old kit.  My board is marked Rev
B, and my manual is Rev C (with Dec 14, 2004 errata sheet).  My manual
seems to include all mods from the KPA100 Shield Upgrade and the
KPA100MODKT.  However, my manual does not include all of the changes
from the KPA100UPKT (Oct 21, 2006) Upgrade Instructions. I'm finding
that integrating these instructions into my manual is very tedious and
I'm concerned about making errors.  Is there any reason I can't assemble
from the latest (Rev D) manual?

Thanks
Dick, K0KK

Dick,

I would suggest that the most straightforward  answer is to order the
KPA100UPKT and build from the latest manual on the Elecraft website.  Be
certain you have the latest shield kit (the one with the two soldering
lugs on the corner near the SO-239).

If you have trouble sorting the parts according to the new manual, then
the second best course of action is to build the KPA100 according to the
original manual and then adding the upgrades after the build is complete.

I'm in the middle of building the KPA100 I bought last spring, and decided
it best to build the board as is, then install the upgrade parts.   There
are only 16 of them, so it shouldn't add too much time.   I built up to page
28 in the manual, and am now waiting for the upgrade kits to arrive.  Also
ordered one for an older K2/100.  GL.

Don,

I am taking you up on your suggestion.  I ordered and received the upgrade
kit, the C31 replacement and printed the new manual.  Made the errata
changes and started tracking my building to date and making any changes
needed up to the point of installing it in the K2 for the first series of
tests.  Who knows at my pace I might live through some more upgrades, etc.  

Thank you for this suggestion.

Bill
