Bill,

Sorry that you missed my point - those changes, while significant, did 
not change the block diagram - they did produce modifications of the 
circuits within the blocks, but the transmit and receive chain were 
unaltered.

Even these changes, while significant, did not result in extreme rework 
of the K2 - of course, your concept of extreme rework may differ from 
mine, but I relate to extreme changes as a *major* rework of the circuit 
area rather than a minor change or addition of components.

I might point out that I have worked with large computer cards that have 
had layers of change wiring that one had difficulty getting a 'scope 
probe onto the pins of the card - that to me is major rework - the K2 
rework changes are minor with that perspective.

73,
