Carlos - There are lots of these 103 caps in the kit. From a size perspective (lead spacing in particular) they are not all exactly the same. Try different ones and see if you can find one that fits better and all the way flush with the board. When I built my K2 I was able to find one that sat flush.

That particular one cannot be bent over because it will interfere with the PA transistor mounting. If you also ordered the KSB2 option, there is an extra 0.01uF (10nF) capacitor in that kit. It has a narrow lead spacing, but can be used to solve this problem. If no KSB2, then do you have a capacitor that you can use instead of the one supplied. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/1/2020 5:19 PM, carlos.p wrote: > hi, c 135 10nf cap fitted on the bottom side of the rf board, > between the 2d fastener and transistor > seems sticking out to high, i wonder if someone experienced this, > not soldered in yet, i wait for some possible comments on that, > regards carlos on6cn > ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
