Lee, Adding the options later is no great task and usually involves de-soldering only one or 2 option jumpers. Additionally, the KSB2 requires that you remove one capacitor, and the KNB2 requires that you remove 3 resistors, and for the K60XV one capacitor must be changed - all other parts are added to locations that have not been previously used.
If you wish to avoid any future desoldering changes and case disassembly (except for the K60XV capacitor value change), you could install all the option headers and build the 'Un-PCBs' that are available - see http://home.cfl.rr.com/garyhvizdak/KI4GGX/unpcbs/ for further information. Gary and Ken have provided a list of Elecraft parts (headers, standoffs, etc.) required to do that - see http://home.cfl.rr.com/garyhvizdak/KI4GGX/unpcbs/Resources/Plug~&~Play~K2~Up grade~Parts~List.htm for the full information. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Hi all.
