Fred, Yes, bare wire is what is called for - I usually just use some of the longer component leads, but the supplied wire works fine, just remove the insulation from a length of the wire and cut the bare wire to length.
After the encoder is soldered in, the leads are sufficiently short that there is no danger of them contacting each other. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I'm building K2 # 5422 - and just finished the Control > Board, and the Front Panel board.
