Brian
Definitely, build the rig stock as you have it.
Get it working correctly so you are comfortable
with its performance.  Only then should you
consider doing any mods.  It's important to
start the mod process from a known point of
departure.

Hi All:  My 14 yr old daughter and I have been chipping away at a K2
(S/N <3000) for about 6 months.  We're 2/3 of the way through the RF
board, having completed the control and front panel boards.  Would you
suggest we complete the kit and then backfill with all the Rev B
updates?  Or would there be something to be gained by trying to do those
updates as we go along?

Tnx de Brian W3BW

Brian,

Although I completely agree with those who have said "build the vanilla rig
first", I would like to add that removing XTALS is very difficult.

If any of the modifications you wish to do require removing XTALS then put
the right ones in during constructions.

I do not believe that there is any case where this will not function
correctly with the remainder of the rig in vanilla form.  You just won't
reap the full benefit until the remainder of the changes have been
completed.

Just my opinion.

73,
Fran
