[Elecraft] KAT2 Alert #2 - Errata Mar. 29. New manual

Wow, even the new version? You will find that turning the power to 1W
instead of 5W makes it infinitely easier to adjust the null. I don't think
it is achievable with R6 installed. You did better than I could do at 5W, as
my readings would not "stay put", and I couldn't get anything under 009-011.

Where you say to delete "Delete R6 from the list of resistors to be
installed in this step" in an Errata or Alert, all is well because it draws
the builders attention to the fact R6 is not to be installed. However, the
new manual has this already been done, so there is a great liklihood you'll
install R6 anyway. It's mentioned in the text ("[Don't confuse R6 & R5]").

I didn't install R6 then, but later in assembling the boards, there is a
picture showing R6. The text even says "[see R6]". So THEN I put in R6,
scratching my head. Later, when the null was difficult, I removed it
(difficult with the boards assembled). The null was still difficult, but I
got a 004. Then I put R6 back.

Suggestion: Add a note "Do not install R6 until later" or fix the Art and
description. Or both.
