We are now accepting orders for our PCB based K2 un-module header kit. We have priced it as low as possible, with the intention that every K2 owner can find sufficient justification for having a set.
Being that it is a kit, the K2 is the kind of radio that you just naturally want to get your hands into. We wonder how many K2 owners who would like, or perhaps even need to be digging into their rigs, aren't doing so simply because of the time required to do it right. We realize that our kit isn't for everyone, and that most un-module headers can be replaced with the appropriate gauge jumper wire or a single cap. However, this solution assumes that every K2 owner has the necessary parts on hand, knows where they need to be installed, and "actually" installs them in the correct location. (Remember that some K2 owners either bought theirs used, or from a builder-for-hire.) Then there's the UN-J12/KNB2 header, which isn't so easy. Plus, even using the KE1L approach of soldering the parts directly onto headers, there's still no way to fabricate an Audio Filter un-module. Once installed, an un-module header becomes a functional part of your radio. Because of this, and given the inherently superior mechanical and electrical reliability of PCB based construction, we recommend our kit to every K2 owner. No matter how yours is configured, it is likely that this is a worthwhile investment for you. As with insurance, first-aid kits, umbrellas, spare tires, and jumper cables, this may be a worthwhile accessory to have on hand just in case you ever do need it.
