[Elecraft] K2 Info 090 at first test

oops.....


I spotted the error..... in my lust for perfect soldering, I stuck the
control board under the microscope I normally use for surface mount
work, and carefully installed C45 in the wrong place...... but very

The field of view under the 'scope is very narrow, the round "pin 1" pad
under U7 looks just like the one under U8, if all you can see is a few
pins

I'll go crawl under a rock now
