BEWARE programming Clark TK22

Well, I don't have one of these boards, but I agree it sure is confusing.
If you look at this page for the TK20-series:
http://www.clark-model.com/eng/prod_rx20/index.html
They show:
But if you look at this TK22 Tutorial:
http://www.clark-model.com/eng/prod_rx20_tu/index.html
They show:
So it looks to me like:
1) There is a difference between the TK20-series page board and the TK22-series page board.
2) The jumper is in the same location, but a different jumper designation (J2 on the TK20, J3 on the TK22).
So I would be confused trying to figure out where to put the jumper. I probably would have ignored the picture and gone by the jumper designation. If the instructions said jumper J2, then I would jumper J2 as designated on the board, rather than what the instructions show.

The picture is referenced for the jumper for the recoil servo, not the elevation servo. And it does look like the TK20 and TK22 boards have different jumper locations. Shows the importance of RTFM and not just looking at pictures.

My question is, does the documentation say to plug into the correct jumper name or not?
If the documentation says plug into J2, and you plug into J2 on the board (regardless of what the picture shows), then I would think that is the correct thing to do - go with what is labeled on the board.

If you are referring to the new panther tk22 that I am waiting on, if it hasn't boarded a slow boat from China by now it soon will be. I will take a look at it when I get it. The last I heard was that the Chinese new year is delaying it.

It's a good thing this is RCU, where the moderation is almost non-existent, because at most tank forums that I know of, you'd get banned for deleting all those posts like that.

Ahh Gary, I think he realized he stepped in it. I understand his frustrations and the man makes good builds. No denying his talent bro. BTW, you think your meatchickens will actually beat my beloved Buckeyes next year?

Another Clark Board Warning!
I do have some successful first time experience with the Clark Board Setup (photos below) and I found the following to be the undeniable truth: purchase ELMOD and that is my best recommend to solve any Clark Board problems:

You got to love the Clark stick commands though, OK, maybe not.
