And don't forget the most important reason -- You haven't lived until you've removed the wrong 16 pin IC from the right spot on a PC board.
(The first IC I installed was in the wrong place, and that's why I posted the same question as Glen) Tom WB2QDG K2 1103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- One thing I don't like about this country is that everyone gets to have his own opinion on things! -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Haffly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 5:49 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Socket IC's Hello All , I have K1 1850 up and running and a K2 in the box to assemble when time permits. When assembling the K1 several IC's were soldered directly to the RF board. When I build the K2 , Is there a reason for not using an IC socket soldered to the various boards rather than direct soldering an IC to the boards ? It seems logical that for future upgrades and component replacements a socket would make more sense. Anyone building a K2 use IC sockets ? Tnx Glenn K5ZE _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft You must subscribe to post.
