K2 Front Board and the Rework mic adapter

[EMD]

Hello again group,

I started the Front Board last night.  I have the Rework Eliminator Mic Adapter and I was wondering when it is installed in the front panel board.  I searched the K2 section but did not find anything that answers my question.  It looks like it should be installed in this section but what is the best approach to it's installation?

Thanks and 73, Ed

  Ed,

Before you mount the metalwork to the front panel board, it is time to
install the components from your KSB2 option to that board.  The KSB2
parts list will indicated the parts to go on the front panel board.
After those parts are added, the Mic Adapter can be assembled and
installed at any time - I would wait until you have finished with the
Control Board and the first Alignment and Test section.  Then you can
easily add the IMA assembly.  It plugs onto the K2 microphone
configuration header with no soldering there, but there is assembly for
the IMA itself.  The IMA instructions have notes regarding clearances
from a capacitor on the RF board and you should check the fit between
the Front panel and the control board, so both should be present when
you install the IMA.
