[Elecraft] K2 Modification Help

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,


You will have to mount the headers (2 pin) for the AUX RF and the AUX 
12V on the RF Board unless you have already done that (none of your 
current options require those).
Your current QRP K2 has a serial number less than 3000 -- You will also 
have to make the mods on the Control Board for the sidetone source/TXD 
from U6 pin 25 - again, this might have been done  The instructions are 
in the KPA100 manual.
Oh yes, you will also have to remove pin 4 from the Control Board header 
that the KPA100 ribbon cable plugs into.

Other than that, you should not have to do anything other than the 
mechanical swap.

73,
Don W3FPR
