Bob,

Compare the height of the mounted R-Pak with the height of one of the low profile electrolytic capacitors. If the R-Pak is not higher than those capacitors, no problem.

If you have to remove it and do not have good de-soldering equipment, get a replacement from pa...@elecraft.com and clip out the Rpak (destroy it if necessary, but do not damage the board) - then remove the pins one at a time. To open the solder holes, heat the pad and insert a wooden toothpick or a stainless steel needle.

I soldered RP5 in the correct orientation but it's not fully seated against the 
board -- pins just barely stick out of the underside. So RP5 is probably 2-3mm 
higher than it should be. Is this a problem with respect to the case or 
anything else?
