[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 "J1" Position Question..

Sun Apr 11 08:40:00 2004

Andy,

J1 is installed from the "solder side" and is soldered on the "component
side".  The reason for this is that it has to eventually mate with the
RF board.  So the connector has to point "inwards" to the radio, away
form the buttons and everything else you will be touching.
