Hi Terry,
The RF board is an excellent part to start assembly with because it is wide
enough to connect all the panel pieces to. After all, the purpose of the
case is to protect the innards (RF board included). So the RF board is used
to initially align the case pieces. After a while in the building process
the case becomes the principal support for the radio. So you end up with a
chassis just like with the older type of radios. You end up with a light,
but strong chassis. One advantage is that you can always take a side of the
chassis off to access a part of the radio inside. The K2 is very similar.
Being a structural engineer, I have been always impressed with the Elecraft
radios' structural integrity.

Having the RF board act as the structural backbone is unique in my
