Sam,
First, you did not waste your money. It is the motional inductance
parameter for the crystals that is now better controlled (spec with the
xtal vendor) - the crystals have always been matched to the nearest 10
Hz as far as I know. The newer speced crystals are in K2 kits after SN
2559.
For the grounding on both sides, there is a good description in the more
recent K2 manuals - download the new manual and take a look at the
section where the crystals are installed.
I also ground the KSB2 crystals near the base too - that must be done
sequentially as you add the crystals. Don't worry much if the process
is not obvious to you, the improvement is not very much - not enough to
fret over.
73,

I have K2 #2481 and just ordered the K2KSB2XTLS did I waste my monies?
I thought the K2KSB2XTLS was a more closely matched set that would give
me a better shape factor than the generic one that was installed
whenever #2481 was built?
Also I remember seeing a web page with some comments on a *better way*
to ground the xtals. Can anyone point me to it?
