Hello, I'm confused on the construction of J8. First the manual states there are 12 mini crimp pins including 2 spares. J8 has ten pins but I only have 4 wires that come the Control board minus the bare lead. So am I inserting the crimp pins with the wires in one side of J8 and inserting empty

Just finished the KAT2 for K2 #6662. Unfortunately, J8 is just too tight on CTRL P4. I *might* be able to force it on, but it would never come off. Anyone run into this? --phil ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be
