Is that Daughter-Board soldered in or plugged in ? It looks like it's plugged into the connector but I can't get it to budge and I really don't want to apply too much force and wind up breaking it. -------------- Hi Dick Leigh's right, it's soldered. What might look like a plug is just the plastic separators on the pin strips. If, as Leigh did, you can manage without removing the daughter board that should make life a lot easier. I originally tried to remove mine by cutting the pins, reason being it's much easier to unsolder individual pins, but the PCB is a bit "fragile", perhaps solder hadn't flowed properly through the plated holes, and the wedging effect of even fine cutter blades was enough to push one of the pins up and take the through plating with it. After that, as my Pace kit is boxed up right now, I resorted to flooding between the pins with molten solder and removing it that way. regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
