In my KX2 SN 567,  I removed the BPF and KXAT2 boards in order to install the Gem Products replacement side plates.  I had no trouble installing these on my KX3 and really like them.  One article by KE4RG states that this procedure for the KX2 is "not for the timid," and I would now concur.  After MUCH difficulty, I got both boards reinstalled and closed up the unit.  However, upon power-up, I received an error message "ERR ATC d=001."

The manual entry for this error message suggests removing and re-installing the KXAT2 board, making sure the 8-pin connector is properly mated.  However, the ol’ hands and eyes must not be what they used to be (if they ever were), and it took me over an hour to get it plugged in the first time.  It’s extremely difficult to see the KXAT2 board pins and determine if they are properly lined up, while maneuvering the KXAT2 board past the BPF board and antenna connector.

Before I make another attempt, I thought I would check if anyone has any hints to increase my chances of success for this procedure.

Thanks.
Bob, WO3E
