[Elecraft] KPA100 K3 relay
Well, after carefully reading the manual and noting that relay K3 should not be installed until after T2, I lost concentration and installed it by mistake. Is this a show stopper, requiring removal of the relay, or more to do with having enough room to solder T2 to the long pads etc?

Hi Trevor: I'm reasonably sure that the latter reason is the driving force. From experience in removing T2, the hot iron CAN accidentally bump into K3.

RE: [Elecraft] KPA100 K3 relay
Trevor, The reason K3 is no mounted until later is to allow more room for pulling the wires through T2 and soldering the core and wires - but since you have it already mounted, I would say that you should leave it in and work around it carefully rather than risk damage by removing it. OTOH, if you have a good desoldering tool like the Hakko 808, removing it would be easier and a prudent thing to do. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Well, after carefully reading the manual and noting that relay K3 should not be installed until after T2, I lost concentration and installed it by mistake.
