[Elecraft] K2 CW Crystals

[Don Wilhelm]

Jerry,

It is almost that simple.  Unsolder the old X5 thru X11 and put the new 
ones in.  For best results, solder ground wires on both sides of the 
crystal can near the bottom of the crystals.  That is quite possible 
because there are grounding holes on both sides of crystals X7 thru X11 
- for X5 and X6 you will have to settle for a single grounding wire on 
each, but it should be near the bottom.
The K2ATOB instructions call for soldering on both sides of the crystals 
near the bottom, but it does not contain any instructions about changing 
the crystals.
