Good morning all, I have the K2 serial number 6612 it has the KPA-100 installed I am in the process of converting it into the KAT100-2 along with KAT100.
Below are some questions
In the manual I am told to remove C44 from the control board that is beside U1 in the K2. I noticed this cap was never installed in the first place. I assume this step in not needed in my case? My board is REV B3r. 
Because my K2 did have the KPA-100 installed but now is going into the KAT100-2 enclosure is there any menu settings in the K2 that have to be changed around?I noticed there is a black cap over the BNC connector on the K2 as the KPA-100 was installed, when operting QRP to use this connector is there any menu changes that have to be made?With the K2 back to stock power (no KAT-100) there is no ground screw with the old cover re-installed. I like to run a counterpoise during portable operations. Is there a way of installing a thumbscrew ground connection? I also now have to install the KIO2 in the K2 now as well. I noticed in the KIO2 manual on page 10 there is a wiring modification does my K2 need this mod with the serial number of 6612? Thanks very much for your time
