I think part of the anxiety is that it is the first place you come to in your otherwise straightforward manual that you must make a decision that is not clear cut and does not have a picture to back it up. It is a small decision but as I remember it says "thin film" but be careful not to peel away the backing. At least for me, I didn't know what Elecraft meant by thin film verses backing. Many of us hadn't seen an LCD component like that right out of a bulk box. Never saw one with a thin film protecting the backing to know what one without looks like. What is the difference between a thin film and what is a backing when you've never seen either one and wired up trying to do a perfect job? It is clearly an important step and one you want to complete. PERFECTLY. So ask the reflector. That is why I think you see this so often. Just my .02 cents worth.

Folks, Yes, this does come up frequently, and I for one find the manual language quite clear. Please read carefully (with everything in the order stated). "But the back of some LCDs (not all) may have ... If the protective film is found on the back side ... then peel it away" What is difficult to understand about "some" followed by "If" and "then". In other words, your LCD may or may not have the film - If it does, peel it away, but if it does not, do not peel anything away. I fail to understand the confusion, the manual must be inclusive for all possibilities. The language in the manual is the most precise that I know about. Please help me to understand why so many seem to have trouble with it (suggested alternative wording would be most helpful). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I think the time has come for a rewrite of the K2's construction manual. > This question has come up many times and I think that it will continue to > come up until there is a change in the manual.
