Well ... the two AUX males on the RF board are the same and oriented identically, so to do what I did automatically put the +12V on the shield. Were my K2 an airplane, it probably would have been impossible to cross-connect them, but even that isn't always true. I saw a fly-by-wire fighter aircraft which will remain nameless get a goodly way down the runway, start to lift off, do an immediate snap roll and "land" inverted. Someone had managed to get the connectors to the pitch and roll gyros crossed. Yet again I find out there is no substitute for attention to details. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
