[Elecraft] k2 and kpa 100

[Don Wilhelm]

Christophe,

With that serial number, it is set to include all that is necessary to 
add the KPA100.

Just install the P3 and P6 headers and remove pin 4 from the P4 header 
on the Control Board.
The reason for removing that pin is so the ribbon cable cannot be 
plugged in upside down.

73,
Don W3FPR
