Well I dont know :)
The manual they sent says revision D and January 2004.
This manual shows installing CB and CN and the last one on their site says
leave it out. It also calls CG/CH a 47 pf capacitor. According to the new
update sheet, only the original 2.1 SSB used a 47 pf cap in CG/CH.
So I am confused. This would mean I have -s crystals and old caps !
I installed the parts and I obviouslly have something wrong. The OP1 filter
is severally attenuationed. It works, but is several DB down from what it
should me.
Thanks for the response guys. Back to checking things over.

Rich,
All I can say is that if you have CB and CN populated, either you have the
2.1 kHz filter or that you made some mistake in pluging the capacitors
(the
latter not likely since you indicate the capacitors called for in your
manual). I can confirm that the 49136-S crystals are the new type.
In any case, all you need to do is change the capacitors to those required
for the new bandwidth and you should be 'good to go'. I have not compared
the manuals in detail, but as far as I have observed in several KSB2
builds,
the only recent change to the KSB2 manual has been the filter width change
information and the prior errata information has been incorporated into
the
new manual. Other than the firmware changes to support the K60XV option
and
the addition of the bandwidth information, the KSB2 has been quite stable
for some time. Whe you finish, you should have no caps in the CB and CN
positions.

On a whim, I decided to order the SSB upgrade capacitor kit for
my K2 Serial
#4331 as I never have been happy with the SSB audio.
While trying to decipher the tech sheet (installation
instructions) I notice
that it shows no caps in place for CB and CN. It was my
understanding that
Serial 4331 should have a 2.4 filter setup. My crystals are
marked with the
"4.9136-S", so I am assuming its a late kit.
I just pulled out MY manual and it shows installing CB and CN and
does not
look like the manual on the Elecraft site that says to leave them out. I
have no erata sheet with my K2 stuff.
So I am wondering if Elecraft just shipped me an old manual??
Anything else I should look for that has changed between manual
revisions?
