[Elecraft] K2 #4983 is up and running

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Jason,

If the transistor tabs are in contact with the heat sink over their entire
surface area, you did it right.  It is normal for the pins to dtick about
1/8 inch above the board.  You can clip them off or leave them as is - your
choice.

73,
