Hello, Last Sunday (10 Feb) I ordered a K2, the great people at Elecraft shipped it Monday. It arrived Wednesday (S/N 6412) and the assembly is under way.
Everything went smooth with the control Board. Everything was going great with the Front Panel Board until I got to installing the Diffuser light for the LCD display. I posted the Errata sheet for page 28. The instructions are to install the Diffuser 1/8" off the circuit board using the spacers provided. The length of the leads from the LEDs in the Diffuser are 1/8", the same length as the spacers. They cannot go into the hole on the Front panel Circuit board. The new picture from the Errata sheet looks like it is just soldered without any physical connection. Just sort of lumping solder to attach the Leads to the pads on the Circuit board without going into the hole and soldering from the back side of the circuit board? Is this right? Trying to get a soldering iron under the diffuser to the pin on the top of the board to solder it looks tough to do with out burning the diffuser or the LED bar graph. Have I missed the boat on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best, DW Holtman WB7SSN _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
