K2 is Practically Done
Except for a missing capacitor and an RF Choke which I broke while desoldering, the K2 is ready for the final alignment and test. Everything has worked out so far and knock on wood - I hope it will continue to do so. Accumulated time for the build has been 80 hours for the basic radio. The options I plan to install are as follows:
Noise Blanker
Single Side Band Module
Automatic Antenna Tuner
160 m receive and extra antenna receive jack
Audio filter
Internal 2900 mA-hr battery
All the modules are ready to build. The battery kit has already been finished
