Don had a great suggestion. The KSB2 kit has a spare 103 that is significantly
smaller than the K2 103s.
Thanks everyone,

All bottom-side components must be less than 0.25” in height so they don’t
touch the inside of the bottom cover. You can fold parts over, but I would
never, ever attempt to modify their height by removing material. If you feel
compelled to do that, better to just request a lower-profile

The answer is "Maybe".
I have heard of some builders who have reduced the height of C135, but
that is a risky situation, you may short the plates of the capacitor
rendering it useless.
A better solution is to replace it with a capacitor that is smaller.
Do you have the KSB2 kit? If
C135 on my K2 RF board sits 1.1mm higher than the 2d fastener. Is it safe
shaving that much material off the capacitor body, or should I replace it with
a different 103?
I'm one PA transistor away from being able to inspect, test, and align my K2; I
don't want to do anything rash.
Thanks,
I'm in the home stretch of building my K2, and wanted to point out
something that might help others as they assemble the transmitter portion
of the radio.
C135 ("103"), which sits adjacent to the 2D heat sink fastener, needs to be
installed as close to the board as possible. Check that it is
