[Elecraft] K2 K60XV Installation

[Stan Rife]

	If you remote the KPA-100 in to an EC2, then you could use the BNC's
in the top cover.

Matt,

There is not enough physical space for BNC connectors on the rear of the
heatsink panel, so good quality RCA jacks are provided.  Even the RCA jacks
are a tight fit, so if you are drilling an older heatsink, measure three
times and drill once, the hole positions are critical.

Yes, with the QRP top cover removed, and the KPA100 installed, the BNC
connector holes are not present.

You could install both the BNC jacks and the RCA jacks if you preferred it
that way - BNC connectors are also provided with the K60XV.

So for a direct answer -- there is no 'best' way, make your choices based on
your individual needs.
