   I just got around to adding the KNB2 mod prompted by Joe Planisky  
KB8AP  and originally  designed by Stefan Steger  DL7MAJ.    WOW  is all 
I can say and  a BIG  THANK  YOU   Stefan.   I must have missed this 
one.  I read a lot in the K2 posts where many people like Joe and the 
rest of us have put up with KNB2's that don't do a thing.   WELL THATS 
OVER.  Try this mod and your K2 life will be changed forever.  I can say 
now that I've done it, the K2 NB works almost as good as my Mark V  
does  and thats a lot.  The mod adds a 0.1 uF capacitor between the 
emitter of Q2 and ground.  I chose to "tack solder" the "104", from K2 
terminology,  from Q2 emitter to a  ground post on the plug just above 
it.   Works great.    I just wanted to re-post this because I know a lot 
of you K2 users are not going to get the most from your K2s NB unless 
you do this mod.    Then again,  maybe all of you already have.  :-)
