Lyle,

As I recall, the *other* changes affect both line-in and mic-in.  On the 
N1EU website, I've documented those changes with only C value changes 
instead of R value changes.

I think what some folks are requesting is an updated schematic, showing the 
new values.  But what they may not realize is that 7 SMT capacitors are 
changed -- or in the alternative, the corresponding SMT resistors require 
solder re-work and that's in addition to the C9/C13 change and so the total 
parts change may be in excess of 10.  That's a lot of propensity for damage 
to the board and it really makes sense to just opt for the board swap 
through Elecraft.
