I also did not have the thermal pad in my KAT500 kit I received about two months ago. And, I have heard that a number of others were missing the thermal pad. I think that the thermal pad person had a particularly bad day or something like that.
When I built my KAT500 and did the inventory to discover the thermal pad missing, I sent an e-mail to [email protected] and a few days later received the thermal pad in the mail. I did not wait on my KAT500 build but did wait after I got to that point in the assembly where the thermal pad was applied to R6. I only had to wait a day or two. 73, phil, K7PEH On Dec 28, 2012, at 12:37 PM, WM3M <[email protected]> wrote: > I just got my long awaited KAT500 kit today. > The thermal pad for R6, figure 12, is missing. > I checked and re-checked all packed areas, it is not there. > Can I proceed to assemble without it or use something else in its place? > I really would like to get it working today if possible and not have to wait > till mid next week. > I don’t think there is any place near me where I could buy one. > Any help or ideas is appreciated.
