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.
