I've sent a note to the contract manufacturer to make sure those leads get cut off flush in the future, and I'll inspect them as they come in.
This didn't get caught in testing because RX is tested while the board is on a test fixture, and not installed in the case. The final post-assembly test just checks that it powers on and that the LEDs and DC power jack are OK. The assembled test units I've been using had the lead cut short enough, apparently. Sorry about that, and thanks for the catch. Scott n0rxd wrote: > > > > That was my problem exactly - the long lead on the crystal was shorted > to the case.
