Who would spend 30 hours+ building an Elecraft K2? (plus: special pricing)

[wayne burdick]

Special K2 pricing is good until at least the end of February. We’ll fix this on the website early next week.

tnx

Thanks Wayne

however, if you get updates on K2 orders, you'll see that SWMBO thought
it was a VERY good idea that I be kept out of her ha... er busy.   So, a
K2 with all the bells & whistles will be making its way to me in the
next two weeks; and I'll be busy smoke testing not long after it arrives :)

73s,

Neil Zampella, KN3ILZ

I took 10 years to build my serial #1xxx K2 kit. I started the kit in about
'99 and put it aside when we had an addition being built. Over the years, I
recorded and kept tract of all the mods and updated parts. I ordered and set
aside crystals, firmware (didn't even use one of the chip sets) and other
mod kits. I edited the assembly instructions as time went along and in about
2010, I got the kit and parts out, refreshed my understand of the assembly
and inserting mods, etc, and finished it in about a week or so. And it
worked perfectly. I have had opportunities to sell it, but somehow it seems
like an old friend.

I did exactly what was not recommended. Built my #35 in less than 25 hours in my motel room because I was totally bored and wanted better than the Norcal 40 and be all band!  What an amazing experience.  Still the best kit ever.

73,
