That is correct, Charles. There was a mod by WJ4P, called the "Sinewave
Sidetone Mod" which involved fitting a 47K resistor in series with C24
(0.0027uF) on the control board and soldering a 39mH choke across pins 7
& 10 of RP5. Ensure that C33 is a 2.2uF. If not, replace it.
There is a document around about the mod somewhere and I am trying to
locate it. If I find it I will e-mail it to you.
The later Revision B K2 has a sinewave mod incorporated.
