Stan,

Re-read the instructions carefully. Those Control Board changes are only to be done on K2s below SN 3000. It is already done on your K2 control board PC wiring.

I would suggest you order the 2 Allen wrenches for the K2. Not only for removing the Control Board in the future, but for repositioning the VFO knob and the small knobs on the front panel. Download the KDSP2 manual so you can reverse the KDSP2 installation instructions to remove the KDSP2. Download the manuals for all other installed options while you are at it, you may need them one day, and they contain user instructions that are not in the base K2 manual.

73,

I'm just finishing my KAT100 build to use with K2/100 SN #7230.
I did not build the K2 and have never built one - so unfamiliar territory.

The instructions say to pull the control board and KAF2 if present.
It also says to use the "long handled Allen wrench" - yea I don't have
that .  This K2 has a KDSP2 installed.  I need to cut the trace and install
R12 between R8 and R9.

I popped the top panel between the front panel and the KPA100 and can
see the board and the resistors.  This K2 has a jumper placed where the
R12 needs to go.  Before I start pulling stuff apart can someone give me
a bit of a clue how to pull this board?  I don't want to break an excellent
working radio.  If Don is reading this - it's the one you fixed for me.
I don't want to have to send it to you again.
