Hi Elecraft uses the convention that pin one of most components has a round pad and all other pads are rectangular. The round pad at pin one can be easily mistaken for a board feed through and can be missed when soldering. I have made this error several times on the 15 K2's I have built. I now always solder pin one first on all parts to make sure this does not happen (although it still happened on the one I am building now on a relay pin in the VFO)
