K2 Serial Interface KI02

[w7aqk]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of assembling the KI02 serial interface
for my K2.  So far, so good, but I see a potential problem
coming up.  Maybe I've overlooked something, but I don't see
how the speaker gets re-attached without interfering with
the aux. board.  The speaker connector seems too long to
allow the aux. board to seat fully.

The assembly instructions for the KI02 had me shorten the
pins at connector P5 on the control board, to prevent
shorting when doing the tests during assembly.  Looking
ahead in the assembly process, it simply says to plug the
speaker connector back in, and that connector seems like it
will impede seating of the aux. board.

Am I missing something???

Dave,

I believe you are overthinking things (or looking at the wrong P5).  
Unless you have installed a ty-wrap on the speaker lead and the KIO2
cable quite close to the AUX board there should be no interference.
The P5 that the speaker plugs into is on the RF Board, not on the
Control Board.
