We've now double checked this, and we have confirmed that the KXV3 pin length
has -not- changed between the KXV3A and the KXV3B. It is not necessary to trim

But after several tries, I was finally able to do it without clipping the

I tried putting the pins in tilting the board with the BNC connectors not out
of the slot, it was too much of an angle, they will
The KXV3 boards are a tight fit. I've had mine in and out a few times
(replaced blown pin diodes) and finally figured out that I needed to
