The K2KSB2XTLS is one envelope containing 14 crystals used to replace X5 
through X11 inclusive on the RF board of the K2 and the seven crystals on 
the KSB2.

Take the 14 new crystals, put them in their little envelope and put the 
envelope somewhere safe. Get two little bags and put them on your work 
bench. Take out the 7 crystals on the RF board, put them in one of the 
little bags. Label the bag as the RF board X5-X11 crystals and put the bag 
somewhere safe (other than where you put the new crystals. Remove the 7 
crystals on the KSB2, store them in the other bag, label the bag as KSB2 
crystals, and put the bag near where you put the other bag of 7 crystals.

Now that all the old crystals are out of the way, you can open the 
container of new crystals and start installing them. By doing this, you 
avoid any possibility of mixing up the different sets of crystals. Its 
basically what I did when I changed the crystals on my K2.


Cheers!
