I believe you're mistaken pal. The KPA100 APP connector match IDENTICALLY 
the examples shown at http://www.ocraces.org/powerpole.html 
and   http://home.comcast.net/~buck0/app.htm.

The link at http://www.westmountainradio.com/pdf/QSTrr.pdf showed nothing 
useful.

The illustration on page 41 of the rev. A KPA100 manual matches exactly the 
illustration at www.ocraces.org... and the illustrations on pages 29 & 38 
of the rev. A manual match IF you recognize that you're looking at the 
UNDER of the PC board instead of the top... well, at least it's the bottom 
SIDE when it's installed INSIDE the K2 and had been turned upside down for 
that installation... thus making the actual TOP of the PC board the under 
side...

Don't go changing ANYTHING until you've DOUBLE-CHECKED yourself again.
