[Elecraft] K2 AUX I/O connector

[Nigel]

Thanks Don, for the reminder.
    
I know in the past it has been posted to insert a pin in terminal 4 on the
K2 and remove the same from the corresponding plug to make them unique to
the K2.
How's the easiest way to do this?   Can you pull the pin from the male plug
and insert it into the female one or do you need to wreck another one?
