i got to the end of rtk1 using Anki. however is shows i only have 2039 facts. right now I am painfully cross checking each and every kanji. Is there a way to do this painlessly?

That sir, isn't a dilemma at all. If the kanji you missed are important ones, I'm sure you'll pick em up in no time when you start reading. The end goal of RTK isn't to have 100% retention of all the Kanji; it's a foundation for you to move on to real Japanese. 2039 Kanji sounds good enough to me.

You can take 20 minutes to go through it by hand or just move on.

I'm really a perfectionist when it comes to these sorts of things so it looks like I'll work at it. I just went through the first 500, found 1/3. darkness!

I think Nukemarine posted a youtube video where he editted Kanji Stats to include a section for RTK only. If you did that then you would be able to tell which two are missing right away.

Edit: Nevermind, if it's not in the deck at all... Edit 2: Previous edit referred to earlier version of comment.

Perhaps you can export the deck and sort the kanji column, then merge it with a complete, separate RTK column that's sorted the same way, and find the mismatched/blank rows? (Since I'm terrible at this stuff, I use: http://textmechanic.com/Merge-Text-Line-by-Line.html .)

You can find a list of the RTK kanji where each is on a line in that Suspend by Character plugin.

Edit 3: Wait, does your deck have a field that numbers the kanji (e.g. Heisig frames), which you can numerically sort via ticking the box in the layout, and sort by in the card browser? ;p

RtK is just a jumping board like others mentioned. Even if you missed a few it doesn't matter in the end because the exposure you'll get from practical experience will cement the kanji you need to know into your memory anyway.
