Elecraft K2 - Serial Number 007239 Build. Day 8

Hours 1:08:00    Total Build Time:   15:59:00    Nov 5, 2011


Its a cold Saturday outside so its time to have fun inside working on the K2 Transceiver.

Shaft Encoder used for main tuning
 Assembly started today with soldering the 4 wires to connect the main tuning shaft encoder up to the Front Panel circuit board.  I am glad that I have a lighted magnifying glass to work under.

Installing control knobs
 Installed the control knobs on all of the potentiometers working left to right and top to bottom.


Installing main tuning control knob
 Next the Main Tuning control knob was installed, and that completes the assembly of the radio for this section.

The next section of the manual starts with the assembly of the RF board.

All knobs installed on front panel
