Are the Elecraft XV's any more difficult to build than a K2? To my
surprise and limited skills, I was able to build my K2 along with
several options successfully with only minor difficulties. My
soldering job isn't the cleanest in the world but the rig works as
spec'd. However, with that said, I could see my soldering improving
as I progressed from stage to stage. My biggest problem is feeding
too much solder into the joint. I think I need to switch to a smaller
diameter solder.
I'd like to procure an XV50 around the first week of October.
However, this will be cutting it close time wise for it's intended
purpose; the 50MHz Sprint on October 20th. However, this shouldn't be
much of a problem as I am currently disabled and have more time than I
know what to do with lately.
Thanks for any feedback.
