Rolf, You will have to somehow get J4 and J5 perpendicular to the board. Forcing them into alignment with the screws will likely break something.
I have not had any past problems in accomplishing that feat. Be certain C60 and C45 are the proper values of 0.001 uf (marked 102) - the .001 monolythic capacitors are not as thick as the .01 uf and .047 uf capacitors. The .001 uf caps do fit snug against the U1 socket. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I encountered a problem when building KAT2.
