I just built the KIO2 and installed it with my KBT2 and KAT2 already in place. It was a tight fit, but did not restrict the module or the cable. Keeping it neat using cable ties is essential when you re-install the top cover so that they do not get pinched or lay on top of the RF board. The problem I did have was the cable from the KIO2 meeting at the AUX board. The KIO2 cable was too long and stiff which resulted in it trying to twist the board off the control board. Forming the KIO2 cable into an S-shape helped reduce some of the twisting.

Installing KBT2 with KIO2 in place Brian, No problem with the KAT2 installed. Ty-wrap the speaker cable to the KAT2 cable, but do not put any ty-wraps at the end of the battery. If the speaker wire has ty-wraps that fall at the end of the battery, cut them off. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/11/2019 9:00 PM, Brian Denley wrote: > I should also mention that the KAT2 is in the cover as well. > > Brian > KB1VBF > Sent from my iPad > >> On Mar 11, 2019, at 7:33 PM, Brian Denley <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Is the KBT2 going to fit ok with the KIO2 in the cover as well?
