SSB Removal

[Dan Barker]

I loaned my KPSK2 (er, ah KSB2) to a fellow ham.

Any Spur or other oddness from just sticking C167 into j11? It'll only be
there a week or two.

Dan,

All I can say is that I have never noticed any problem with just 'sticking
C167 into J11 - I do it frequently when working on K2s.

Don't forget to install jumpers in J9 & J10 (Pin 1 to 3).  I removed some
pins from an old computer motherboard nd made jumpers that fit  J9 & J10 and
connects a 0.001 cap between J11 (Pin 7 & 12).  I do this all the time when
building a K2 so that I do not have to rewire it when installing the KSB2.

For someone new to K2 building - like, say, someone who just ordered his
first one yesterday :-) - would you recommend building the K2 as
directed and then desoldering parts to add additional boards?  The
directions seem to recommend that after a quick skim.  But it seems to
me it'd be much easier to read directions for the add-ons and use
jumpers like described below to avoid the need for desoldering.  Has
anyone had bad experience doing that?  Thanks,

Mike,
 I'd say its better to build the K2 as-is first, then add the modules one at a time. It's far easier to trouble shoot if you have any problems going along without the otherstuff already changed. With a good solder sucker it doesn't take long at all to remove whatever components necessary. It's been a while since I put my K2 together, but I do recall there were some steps you could do during the building process if you had certain modules that you were going to add.
 My vote is to build the K2 first, than add each as you go. It would be much harder to debug if you built the whole thing first, because you wouldn't know which part is fouling it up and you would end up having to desolder parts to put it back to it's original form anyways. Best of luck, take your time, and enjoy building your kit. 73,

James KB2FCV
