[Elecraft] K2 S/N 5023 On-The-Air!

[Bill Tippett]

N7ON:
 >Further construction and operating details later, but I must thank Jim,
K4ZM, for pinpointing the source of a last-minute problem ( poor 40m
performance) and its solution ("outer two pads" means keep the middle pad
open, not "outer" as in nearest the edge of the PCB).

         Sounds vaguely familiar...  :-(
 From my notes March 30, 2004 but 16 months
and >900 units later.  The manual could be
SOOO much better if Elecraft would simply
listen to their customers and incorporate
feedback into the next manual revision.

4.  Page 57, box 7.  "Install C6 (4.7 pF) into the
'outer' two of the three panels." could be ambiguous.
"Outer" could be interpreted as the two panels toward
the nearest board edge (upper right looking from
the bottom side).

Suggest changing to "Install C6 (4.7 pF) into the
far left and far right panels (straddling the middle).

(I hope I guessed right since I never found a photo).
