[Elecraft] SSB board install - RF board OK - thanks!!!

[nz7c at cox.net]

Thanks folks - 
I love this reflector!!  Thanks to Don, David, Gary,  and many others who quickly told me how to jumper the RF board - which I did. The K2 still works perfectly in cw mode  - to my immense pleasure and relief. That just leaves the SSB board to trouble shoot - a far less daunting task than the RF board. Thanks very much folks - now to start inspecting that SSB board!
