No, you still have the diode and resistor in series. However as the each of the vias go to pads 15 & 20 of the connectors respectively, soldering to the pads is an alternative to soldering to the vias.
You can check the continuity with a VOM just to make sure. Hope that's OK ? 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:14:06 -0400, James Sarte wrote: > Solder the components directly to the pads; you mean in parallel instead of series???
