I assembled the SMD kit last evening and installed in in my K2/100. It all went smoothly, even though this was my first experience soldering SMD components. Strong reading glasses help.
I had a similar tuning feature on a Yaesu 897. But it never worked very well and was reliable only on strong, clear signals where assistance wasn't needed. In contrast the K6XX works very well on a wide variety of signals. When the indicator is steady, I can pop into my tightest filters and the signal is centered. Moreover, tuning with the indicator is significantly faster than tuning by spot tone/ear. (for my skill level) Thanks to Tom Hammond N0SS for putting the kit together. It is a fun and useful "mod."
