[Elecraft] Signal Tracing - Success!

[Ken Kirkley]

Well, with my head hanging low and a sheepish look on my face...I can 
report that I have completed Phase II Testing with success! I had asked for
some assistance yesterday with signal tracing in order to find where the 
signal was being lost. After reading some replys, *trying* to read and 
understand
the schematic some more, I went out of town for the night. While gone 
the schematic for C6 became crystal clear in my mind and I knew exactly what
I had done. When the directions said to use the OUTER two pads for 
installing C6 on the bottom of the board, I understood that to mean the 
two OUTER
pads that were closest to the side of the board. Don't ask me how I came 
to that conclusion...I don't know! I realized last night that the center 
pad was a
ground pad! Maybe for numbskulls such as myself, the directions should 
say something like "install C6 to pads 1 and 3 on the bottom side of the 
board".
Boy...do I fell sheepish...especially since Don had asked me point blank 
if I had C6 installed correctly. In my mind at that time I did.

OK...on to the rest of the build! Boy, I am beginning to somewhat 
understand the schematic! Isn't that scary...
