[Elecraft] Help with KAT2

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

Yes there will be part of the pin surfaces showing when the connectors are
properly mated - it is supposed to be that way.

Now for the screws, lockwashers and standoffs.  When you put the standoff on
the first board, use a lockwasher under the screwhead and one between the
board and the standoff - the one between the board and the standoff is the
most important.

Then after you mate the boards, put a lockwasher under the screwhead only.
It would be a real bear of a job to keep the washer between the board and
the standoff at that point, so don't do it that way, but do put a lockwasher
on the screw to keep the screw from backing out.

73,
Don W3FPR
