Hi Rich: If you look at Figure 43, part 2, on that page you'll see both a "before" and "after" photo with an oval around the pins in question. Trim the pins on the back side of the board to look like the "after".
The issue is that if the pins stick out too far above the solder pads, they will short against the adjacent board when the front panel is assembled. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2012 11:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 assembly questiion Hi all Am hoping someone can answer this one quickly. I am building my K3 at the moment and am on page 32 of the manual just putting in VFO B and I don't understand the instructions. It says 'Cut only the five pins shown close to the back of the pc board so they do not extend above the solder points' Up until now everything has been easy to do but this has stumped me, can someone explain what this means please? Thanks Richard, M5RIC ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
