Hi David,

I assembled the KDSP2 recently and it worked fine. However, I assume that solder had wicked up into the J2 contacts - it was stiff to plug in the DSP board and then impossible to pull apart. This made it awkward to subsequently remove the front panel. So I broke up the plastic housing of the connectors with side-cutters, carefully, so I had thought, and pulled out the contact remnants one by one after removing as much solder as I could with solder wick and then putting a piece of bare, tinned bus wire heated by the soldering iron through each hole to clean it out. After the new connectors were installed, I encountered the trouble previously described, which is definitely self-inflicted and not a problem concerning faulty parts being supplied to me by Elecraft.

Many thanks for your help.

newly built, and you are troubleshooting it?
