[Elecraft] AF-1 Rev A - J2 AF Out Looks Different?

[Charles]

Hi Ron, 

Now that I look, I guess the PCB change has the same circuit once I solder the jumper. Thanks for the keen eyes!

HI Bret: 

I don't see the difference other than your image being rotated 90 degrees. 

It's common for the boards to get revised and the manual is not updated if the changes don't require a change to the assembly instructions.

I'm building the Elecraft AF-1 Audio Filter. My PCB has "REV A" printed lower left. I see pictures of a "REV XA" on the web, but mine definitely say "REV A" only. The "REV B" manual http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740102%20AF1%20Active%20Audio%20Filter%20Rev%20B.pdf 
shows that modifications are needed at both J1 AF IN and J@ AF OUT jacks, I did the J1 - AF In mod, but see that my PCB is different than that shown in the REV B manual. 

The manual show this

My PCB board looks like this

The reason for the mods are given as: 

The PC Board traces for the AF1’s audio input jack J1 and output jack J2 were wired to only the “ring” connection of the stereo tip-ring-sleeve jacks. If you are using stereo mini-phone cables this will not cause a problem, but a mono plug will not provide any audio into the AF1 as the J1 “tip” is unconnected. 

Additionally, the AF1 J2 Output jack should have the tip and ring connections wired together so that stereo headphones work correctly. 

Saturday and Elecraft is closed, so I thought I'd ask advice here, thanks.
