[DSP-10] A DSP-10 construction question

[Rajiv Dewan, N2RD]

I am busy populating the DSP-10 board using the TAPR kit and I have a =
question regarding the installation of MMICs. =20

The instructions said to bend the legs of the MMIC and trim them.  I =
noticed that the MMICs supplied by TAPR, ones that come in plastic =
carrier strips, already have bent legs.  They are are bent in a zig-zag =
shape.  I installed them as they were. =20

Did I make a mistake?  Do I have to de-solder and re-install them?  If =
so, how should I bend them?

Any help appreciated.
