Jim, I forgot to mention - for all K2s with serial numbers less than 2560, replace the IF crystals too - the filter will improve dramatically. A set of 7 matched crystals is only $10 from Elecraft and if the KSB2 is installed, a set of 14 matched crystals is only $15. There is no need to match the KSB2 crystals to that used in the K2 IF filter, 2 matched sets of 7 crystals will work nicely too (if you purchase a KSB2 option, you will receive a matched set of 7 crystals with the kit.
