Elecraft K2 - Serial Number 007239 Build. Day 8 - Cont

Hours 1:28:00    Total Build Time:   17:27:00    Nov 5, 2011


Later in the afternoon I spent some more time working on the K2 Elecraft Receiver.  This afternoon I started out working on the RF board.  This is the main board of the Elecraft K2 transceiver.  The first steps in the manual was adding standoffs and 3 d attachment points for mounting the circuit board to the chassis.

Below is a photo of the switching relays added to the board.  The switching relays were added to the board and 2 pins were soldered on each relay.  Each relay was then checked to see if it was inserted in the socket correctly and that it was sitting flush on the circuit board.

Here is a closeup of the band switching relays.  There won't be to many more steps before the radio has enough circuitry installed that initial power on tests can be conducted.
