Aha! There really was a KIO2 Problem!

Parker Buckley
After retracing my steps in trying to get the KIO2 to play, I discovered that it worked when I connected the cable to J1 without the two jackscrews in the plug.  It appears that the holes in the nuts holding J1 to the top cover are too shallow to allow the connector to mate all the way.  I think I need to shorted the jackscrews a little so the connectors can fully mate.  Anyone else seen this?

Alan,

You're right!  That took all of about ten seconds to fix.  My original
message was correct....all I had to do was humble myself to the group.

73,
Parker

> Yes, the jackscrews are aligned in the wrong slots inside the connector.
> Move the "jackscrew ring" to the space in front of the screw support.
