[Elecraft] K2 option installation sequence question

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary,

While you have the heat-sink off during the K2 build, install the header 
for the K160RX, the K160RX components that go on the RF Board (C13, C14 
and C75) and the AUX RF header from the KAT2 kit.  The only reason is so 
you will not have to remove the heat sink later to install these items. 

The K160RX may require tweaking the 80 meter bandpass filter a bit and 
the KSB2 option will change the way you set the K2 IF filters, so do 
those first.  The other options can be done in any order you choose, and 
they will not require modifying the alignment of anything other than 
that option itself.

FB on the external enclosure for the KPA100 and KAT100 - note that you 
will require the KIO2 or a suitable substitute when that happens.

73,
Don W3FPR
