[Elecraft] new K2 rx audio problem figured out

[Matt VK2RQ]

Someone else on this list recently experienced the exact same problem after he had opened up his rig to install a KDSP2. I think a bit of insulating tape fixed it for good.

So, I started putting it together 1 screw at a time and found the point where I lost rx audio.  U6 on the control board was coming into contact with the board for the vfo encoder.  When i would take the screws out of the control board, it would let it away from the front board enough for it to work.  I cut down a couple standoffs to be about 1/16" longer than the stock ones with the kit and it holds the control board off just enough to no longer cause a problem.
