the smoke in a ziplock bag and sent everything to him and with a wave of =
the elecraft magic rf probe wand it was working again!  I even got the =
privelege of sitting at a real test bench and putting in my 160m and =
noise blanker options when i drove to pick it up.  now to my question =
and don could probably help me out on this but here it is, I remember =
reading in manual that your not supposed to clip the leads of the =
mechanical relays, if your not why? or if u can i would like to know ive =
been goin over all my boards with my new clippers.  also would it hurt =
running a strong magnet over the boards to pick up any leads that may be =
trapped under a component or will that erase or damage a chip installed? =
it was either that or i was goin to try a can of compressed air.  trying =
to avoid smoking my radio again thats how it happened in the first place =
i left leads the size of shaqs toenails on the board.  also saw the new =
product pictures on the website nice!  hope the manual has an antenna =
wiring diagram for the transverters, after the seeing the pics of the =
