I finished putting the 60m board together over the weekend - it works
fine, no problems there! - and thought I'd post a small suggestion to
improve the manual. On p. 10 it says, "Re-install the heatsink panel."
No sooner is that completed than you find on p. 11 the directions, "If
you'll be using phono jacks on the lower rear panel/heatsink: Remove any
masking tape from the phono jack holes in the heatsink. If the inside
surface is painted, scrape or sand away sufficient paint for the
connectors to make good contact."
The phono jack holes on mine had not been taped over, so after putting
the heat sink on I had to immediately take it back off to sand off the
paint on the inside near the holes. Not really a big deal, but it
would've been easier to sand and only then reinstall the panel,
prompting this minor suggestion.
This is such a fun kit. Does anyone else find it ironic that building a
new K2 keeps you so busy that you rarely find yourself on the air? I'm
sure there's a deep yin/yang philosophy in there somewhere...
