David,
Most all the resistors in the K2 (including R20) are 1/4 watt. The only
1/2 watt resistors on the RF Board are R50 and R58.
To the best of my knowledge, all resistors shown in the schematic that
are NOT 1/4 watt are designated with the power rating. In most cases, a
1/2 watt can be used as a replacement for a 1/4 watt resistor, but the
problem is in the physical mounting space - if you can get it to fit all
will be well.

Just started on my K2, SN#6048...and am new at this process.
I seem to have smoked the resistor r20 in the control board, as I installed
it...a 2.7 ohm (Red-Violet-Gold) resistor which now reads .001 on the
DMM....(I
think too much heat for too long as I attempted to reposition it after
it slid
away from the board a bit.)
I planned on getting a replacement locally...but am uncertain if it's a
1/4 watt
or 1/2 watt...and the parts list doesn't indicate...but a 1/2 watt one
looks too
large.
So...any suggestions?
