This sounds a lot like a problem I had installing the KNB2 (which still isn't solved, regrettably). The cables between the top cover and the main boards of the K2 have a variety of connections, and they can get flexed in taking the cover off. In my case, the ground shield broke at the KAT2 -- somehow this allowed strong signals to leak through anyway, giving a mostly deaf K2. Resoldering the shield and removing the KNB2 restored full receive. (I'm still slowly trying to figure out what's wrong with the KNB2).

Tracking the complete receive path is hard. Look first for bad connections where signals go in or out of the added modules.

And keep telling yourself you'll get it working perfectly someday ...
