[Elecraft] KIO2 connector safety modification?

[Jack Brindle]

According to the "LA3ZA Unofficial Guide to K2 Modifications" page  
(URL: http://www.qsl.net/la3za/K2/modAny.html) the modification you  
desire was created by KH6NO and is located at:  
http://members.cox.net/cwnut/KI02_Serial_2.pdf

It is a two-page PDF.
