Bernie, The diffuser will do its job (spread light) even with the material bowed - do nothing to correct it, it is not broken.
The resistance readings at J1 pins 16 and 17 should be the same as that measured at U1 pins 2 and 1 (the signals are the same, and these points ar connected). Re-measure and if you find a discrepancy, re-check your soldering or measure some resistors to verify that your DMM is reading correctly (you may want to replace the DMM batteries before drawing any conclusions). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I've had my K2 kit for a few days and am about finished with the > front panel. > Before proceeding I have a couple of concerns. > > 1) As instructed, I did not remove the covering from either side of the > diffuser backlight panel.
