TMp Cable and Allen Wrench Envelope

[dk1ii]

Hi all,
I am a proud new owner of a K3, which was handcarried by a friend to Europe. After a week or so he sent me two little envelopes, one with a TMP cable, one with a Allen wrench. I couldn't find a hint what to do with these little parts, are they a sparepart/tool for just in case or did I miss something and they are needed to bring the nice new toy up to speed? Maybe somebody can tell me, please.

That cable is for inserting the mojo.

The Allen wrench is needed to remove the VFO knob to reveal the secret
mojo input connector.

Please do not share this information with non-Elecrafties.

Welcome to the family, Franz.

73,

Thank you, Doug, that gave me all the info I needed. I have the BNC-connector installed, so I will leave it for later, just in case...
Thank you and 73s de Franz, DK1ii
