Well, I finally got around to modifying the AF pot on ole #2456. It really
does work nicer.

It seems quite odd that a mod over 2 years of age
(http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/K2_AF_pot/K2_AF_gain_app_note.htm - Oct 25,
2001) would have 2 errors and an omission.

Error #1: FP board, step 4. "Counter-clockwise" should be "Clockwise". The
4-6 ohms is at the other end.
Error #2: Checkout, step 8. "Install ... 5 screws" should be "Install ... 6
screws".

Omission: FP board, step 8. It doesn't say that the jumper is placed on the
top of the board. It should. The soldering to the pot is easy on the bottom,
but to J1 it's not possible. This causes one to look at the picture again
(and for the non-dyslexics among us) notice the silk-screening is flopped,
or of the top, not the bottom. No big deal, but it should be there.
