The K2 Manual, and various posts to the Elecraft website or this reflector, provide substantial information regarding K2 adjustment, c22 calibration, filters, etc. These generally assume that one doesn't have access to test instrumentation beyond a DMM and the frequency counter built into the K2. This is laudable since it has allowed me, and many others, to build and calibrate a K2/100 without investing in an electronics lab. However, I have been slowly accumulating good test equipment to pursue various design and repair interests and will soon be going over my K2/100 and my KX1 using these tools. It would be helpful to have adjustment and calibration procedures available that alternatively assume the use of test instrumentation. Although one can admittedly figure a lot of this out yourself, having a procedure/check list reduces the possibility of error. And in some instances, the sequence of adjustment can be significant.
Since potential purchasers might be put off by reference to "set the spectrum analyzer to...." the alternative calibration procedures could be available on the website with the primary calibration procedures (those currently used) being contained in the manuals. This would reinforce the concept that the K2 can be successfully built with a minimum of equipment.
