[Elecraft] Help! K2 display backlight
Just tried installing the K2 display backlight as per the errata sheet. The legs on mine are to short to go through the PCB holes. Once the two spacers are in place, the legs are exactly long enough to just touch the front of the PCB. Looking at the photos of the backlight on the builders resources webpage, the one pictured has much longer legs than mine. Q1. Has anyone else suffered dimensionally challenged diffuser legs? Q2. How did you get round it? Q3. Is mine just an odd-ball :) Thanks Jack VK2CJC / MM0AXL FISTS #9666 - CW QRP Club #753 - Elecraft K2 #6404 Mid North Coast Amateur Radio Group www.mncarg.org For MSN Messenger, use this emails return address ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I did think of something along these lines. So are all the K2s going out with diffuser legs that are to short??
