[Elecraft] Portable battery options

Thu Jun 5 01:14:01 2003

As you do the inventory, you should check to see if the mic connector 
will pass completely through its hole in the front panel.  Apparently 
some front panels were punched with the wrong size mic connector hole 
and the shoulder on the mic jack prevents the front panel PC board from 
fitting properly. Same with the external speaker jack on the rear panel. 
  Make sure it fits in its hole properly.  Contact Elecraft if either 
hole is too small.  I'm currently stalled waiting for a new front panel 
from Elecraft.
