[Elecraft] KPA100 shield kit tip

[Tom Hammond]

For anyone wishing to have more 'definitive' bounds for removing the paint 
from the inside of the K2 side panels, for the KPA100 shield mod, you can 
download pictorials of the sideplates AND ground point dimensions from:

     http://home.earthlink.net/~n0ss

Go to the BOTTOM of the home page and click on DOWNLOAD PAGE. Then drop 
down about 1/3 of the page, to "KPA100 Related Files", and it's the only 
file there.
