I am building K2 04858 and have arrived at the display installation in the front panel. I have a couple questions and am too impatient to wait for the Elecraft gang to open up about noon [here] Monday so I turn to this group.
1. When does the kind of flimsy white tape/paper come off the diffuser/LED backlight assembly?
2. Is only the front tape removed?
3. The LCD display has a grey mylar looking tape on the back. No 'stripes' but opaque so I assume it must be removed for the backlight to shine thru?
4. Does a correctly prepared LCD display have anything on the back or should I see bare glass?
5. Any problems identifying the removable film from the front of the LCD display [DO NOT PICK OFF THE THICK PLASTIC MATERIAL .....] I assume this is the clear case of the LCD?
Curious minds. Obviously my first K2. Some of you have tons more experience. Build going well so far. Only a couple anxious moments installing the push button switches, bent a pin and managed to get one switch cocked but fixed that.
