Thank you, Luc. I trimmed the leads and the radio is working fine so
far. You've had the same results without trimming the leads, so it would
appear that it isn't critical.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - s/n 1591 - TCXO module question
Hello everyone.
Things are going really well with the build of s/n 1591 (I had the power
on tonight for the initial power-up test - so exciting!!!) but tonight
when I went to put the TCXO module on the KREF board, I discovered that
the leads on the module are too long to allow its bottom to "rest
against the socket" as described on p.46 of the assembly manual. Is this
a problem? Do I need to trim the leads?
FYI the leads are 1/4" long and a gap of 1/16" is left between the
bottom of the TCXO module and its socket when it is fully engaged.
BTW for those of you keeping track of delivery times:
K3 kit ordered May 9
Katiegram August 27
Delivery on Sept. 5
I really appreciated receiving this info. when I was awaiting my K3 - my
thanks to everyone who shared this info. on the reflector!
Thanks for looking & 73
Ann T.
