[Elecraft] KRC2 Manual Errata??

I had been in conversation with Elecraft Tech Support, but I have not 
heard back from them in three weeks.   So I will throw this out to the 
group.

It appears that there is an error in the KRC2 manual and it is not shown 
in the Errata sheet.

On page 24 the manual states the following when connecting the KRC2 to 
an Icom radio:

"For this reason it is recommended that the reference input setup be 
used. In this configuration, the band data is connected to pin 9 and the 
8 volt reference is connected to pin 4. This mode is set with jumpers 
W1, W2 and W3 installed."

Directly below that statement this statement appears which confirms the 
first statement:

"• Analog band input on J1/2 pin 9 with reference voltage on J1/2 pin 4:"

If you look at the schematic it shows Pin 9 as Reference voltage (8v) 
and Pin 4 ALC (band voltage)

So they are reversed.

Since the wording and the schematic disagree.

Does anybody have any idea which is correct?

My unit is not working properly.  I sent it in for repair but 1 hour of 
labor is about the cost of the unit.  So they returned it and I am 
trying to troubleshoot it myself
