[K2] Anyone else try JG1XLZ's KSB2 Mod?

Steve Kavanagh
Having just installed the KSB2 in my 2nd K2, I was wondering if this was worth trying.  I have had no complaints about my audio in the few QSOs I've had with it so far. http://jg1xlz.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/elecraft_k2_ssb_sound_imp.html I couldn't find any reference to it on this reflector. Comments? 73,Steve VE3SMA

K2 here was built several years ago and later added the external 100w pa and tuner.
For quite a while got reports of slightly ragged sideband but certainly not a show stopper.
A few weeks ago finally took a look and found the bias on the K2 finals just slightly
on the low side;  according to the manual it was well within spec.
Increased about % 10 tidied up ok. Part II was the mod you mention.
this has also been done, can honestly say the K2 SSB is right on the money.
I previously sent a note to the K2 forum, incorrectly typed the
final bias about 100mA to high.  ( need better glasses. )

cheers
