[Elecraft] [EXTERNAL] Re: ELECRAFT K2. Installing KBT2 with KIO2 in place

[Harry Yingst]

 On my K2 I installed a USB Mini-B Female 5V DB9 interface in place of KIO2
Part # DB9-USB-D5-F
It's powered by the computer not the K2 so it draws no power from the K2

 I just built the KIO2 and installed it with my KBT2 and KAT2 already in place. It was a tight fit, but did not restrict the module or the cable. Keeping it neat using cable ties is essential when you re-install the top cover so that they do not get pinched or lay on top of the RF board. The problem I did have was the cable from the KIO2 meeting at the AUX board. The KIO2 cable was too long and stiff which resulted in it trying to twist the board off the control board. Forming the KIO2 cable into an S-shape helped reduce some of the twisting.

Brian,

No problem with the KAT2 installed.  Ty-wrap the speaker cable to the
KAT2 cable, but do not put any ty-wraps at the end of the battery.
If the speaker wire has ty-wraps that fall at the end of the battery, cut them off.
