[Elecraft] XV60 'Partial Install'

[Don Wilhelm]

Craig,

I personally see no advantage in completing only half the board - there are
just not that many parts involved.  If you have an older K2 without the
transverter holes in the lower rear panel, I would consider not mounting the
RCA jacks if no transverter operation were contemplated, but I would wire
and install the entire K60XV option.
