Hi folks: The excitement is building. K2 s/n 3460 and I have made it as far as page 46. Who would have thought that an instruction manual would be such a page turner? During Alignment and Test, Part 1 Info Code 080 pointed me to a problem with the Z5 ceramic resonator: I forgot to put it in.

After you have you have soldered Z5 into the correct place on the PCB trim the free wire ends as normal as with most other components. Just to avoid any confusion! Bob, G3VVT ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must

Never trim precut to length leads such as ICs and relays, and resistor packs, or crystals. These have just enough extension thru the normal fillet of solder to not be a problem, and to provide a place to clip on for troubleshooting probes. Trimming short leads that were not designed to be
