The current procedure is done that way on purpose: Build the KX1 then add
the KXB3080 or KXAT1 modules.
Building the basic KX1 first allows you to test and ensure the KX1 works
correctly before adding the modules. Otherwise troubleshooting to find a
building mistake becomes much more difficult.
Sounds like, now that KXB3080 is finally out there,
Elecraft could re-do the KX1 manual - to show how
to install the KXB3080, right from the get go.
The somewhat re-do of circuitry and devices and
de-soldering - sound messy. Perhaps 2 manuals -
of for with, one for not.

Thanks to everyone for the quick reply. I figured the KIO2 was going to
be the problem. No big deal, I just finished sorting the parts for the
KAT100, I'll go ahead and build it, then set it aside till I do the KPA.
No hurry. Thanks again.

Hi David!
In the basic K2 you need the KIO2 to interface the K2 with the KAT100.
That interface is a part of KPA100 , so in your case I would build the
KPA100 first.
That will give you the opportunity to test all aspects of the KAT100.
You will be able to see how it switch between ho/lo power se

Although it may be disconcerting, there is nothing wrong. The mic jack
is held by the pins only, and those pins 'wiggle' a bit in the housing
causing the outer housing to 'wiggle' It is not a problem and not an
indication of something wrong.

Changing C22 will not change anything in the K2 dynamically, it only
changes the frequency of the 4 MHz reference oscillator. The reference
oscillator is only used for calibration during a run of CAL PLL and CAL FIL.

It's very likely there's nothing to be concerned about. Just FYI that jack

anyway to do some other work.

Yes, you can build it from the new manual with no problem.
The manual level should be either Rev E, or Rev D with the latest errata
sheet - the two are equivalent.
Be certain to do a complete inventory and put the extra parts aside so
