Hi all. I finally broke down after a few years of K2 envy and ordered a K2/10 with SSB, NB and 160M.
I'm part way through building SN 7438 and have run into a problem. I'm trying to fit the front panel board to the front plate and am having a fit problem. There are 3 short round spacers that set the clearance between the front panel pcb and the metal front face. When I insert the front panel pcb into the faceplate, the left side ( side with the LED bargaph ) sits too high. This causes the spacer to sit up off the face and the buttons to sit flush with the face. The other side fits fine, the buttons protrude partially through their holes and the spacer bottoms out on the face. I investigated the problem and it appears to be the led bargraph which is too high. The led bargraph has 4 little tiny feet which space it off the pbc, I have seated the led tight to the pcb with the feet touching. Before I unsolder the led bargraph ( groan ) and cut off the feet ( which the manual said to leave on ) does anyone see somethign I'm missing - please ? Thanks a lot for the bandwidth... Cheers and 73....dave / VE7SGI. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
