Gene,

I cannot make any recommendation, but the 500k 1/4 watt resistor would 
seem a bit high to me.  I would go no higher than 100k (50k would be a 
good choice IMHO) and would use a 1/2 watt resistor instead.

Do not use a choke inside the K2 - there used to be one at the SO-239 
jack, but it can couple into the base K2 and cause problems.  It was 
removed with the latest KPA100 upgrade.
