[Elecraft] K2 KBT2 option question

2018-07-31 Thread Mark Petrovic
I'm installing the KBT2 internal battery option on my K2 s/n 7809. In what position should the K2 rear panel "Int. Battery" switch be for the Connecting and Testing of the KBT2, On or Off? I'm assuming, On, but wanted to double check. Thanks. Mark AE6RT -- Mark
