I have a couple of questions concerning the backlight/diffuser: 1. The leads are too short. About a week ago Gerard, PA3GP, proposed extending the leads by soldering short extensions. He got no responses so I assume this is a safe way to proceed. 2. The diffuser has what I assume are polarity markings. Each LED has the leads marked with 'A' and 'K' and the board has a '+' indicated for each diode. Can I assume that the 'K' is the '+', or do I not care? Thanks! Tony ke6g _______________________________________________ 1. I agree, but they did fit without modifying the process on #6281, but definitely shorter than #4887. 2. You do not care, as far as K2. 'K' has always meant Cathode (-) to avoid confusion with 'C' for Capacitance? or maybe because of the German language origins. In any even the device is symmetrical and cannot be installed incorrectly from the front side. My students, 10-12th grade had a little trouble figuring the plastic diffusion screen until they read the FAQs on it. We have the front panel done, the KAT2 KIO2 done and will start the RF Board as soon as the control board (1/2 done) is complete. 73, Al WA6VNN **************Start the year off right.
