[Elecraft] K2 Internal Speaker versus Internal Battery

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

You guys are all very logical but long ago I learned something about writing
procedures from the world of fiction writing, "If you mention the rifle hung
over the fireplace, it has to go off (be fired) before the story ends." 

In a procedure it's always a legitimate question to ask, "If they mentioned
taking this part out, why didn't they mention putting it back?"

Since it's not in the instructions, you should leave the speaker
disconnected.  Seems clear.  RX audio is a secondary feature in a
transceiver.

Sometimes, obvious steps are left off from kit instructions.  This is
usualy an oversight.  The kit builder still needs to use some
judgment.  

Sorry to be so direct.  The K2 has been around a long time and works a
lot better with the speaker plugged in.  At least I've found this to
be true.  Headphones work fine too.  :)

instructions for the internal battery kit and first thing instructed is to
DISCONNECT the speaker.  Unless I've missed it, nowwhere do the instructions
indicate that the speaker is to be re-connected.  If this is the case, it's
a bummer.  Advice from anyone?
