[Elecraft] LO Power for XV transverters

[Rajiv Dewan, N2RD]

I have a full stack of XVs and just migrated to a K2 for IF.  Each of  
the XVs has a crystal oven.  I notice in the stock config for K2, the  
LO power jumper at JP9 is 1-2.  (All other jumpers are set as  
recommended for K2 IF with 0dBm drive and split paths.) Following the  
schematic it seems to imply that the LO and oven will be on only when  
the band is selected on the K2.  I would prefer to have all the LO  
and Ovens be on when K2 is on.  It seems that I can achieve this by  
switching the JP9 jumper to 2-3.  Is this correct?  Any downside to  
this change?  I am running this in my shack to the incremental  
current draw is not an issue.

Any thoughts appreciated,

Raj, N2RD
K2 #5613
