[Elecraft] K60XV Comment and Question

[Dennis Ponsness]

I built up and installed the K60XV module last night and it is another fine 
addition to my K2!  Worked a station at 5AM and had a nice QSO and he was 
impressed by the audio quality of the rig - was using a Heil HC-4 headset.

I have one question, it appears that originally the XVTR output on the PC 
board was going to be taken from a 4 pin header and the in/out would have 
been connected via a pair of matching connectors.  Since I decided to keep 
my original heat sink and mount the XVTR in/out jacks on the top cover (I 
like BNC's better than phono - but that is a personal preference) is there 
some "engineering reason" that I cannot put a 4 pin header on the board and 
attach the in/out jacks via a pair of 2 pin connectors?  Main concern is if 
I need to get "under the hood" it makes it a bit more difficult.  If there 
is a reason for NOT doing that, I may have to decide which is preferable - 
live with the "difficulty" or get a new heat sink and live with the phono 
connectors.  Just curious.
