The mis-cutting is MY FAULT! And for that I sincerely apologize. Elecraft
was anxious to get this mod out to users and I volunteered to cut the (K2)
backlights into K1-sized pieces for them on my desk-top bandsaw. Apparently
I must have mis-measured when I placed the center point on your backlight.
Sorry about my error. Though I'm glad to hear you were able to recover cleanly.
I'll be much more diligent in the future when cutting the next batch of
backlight.
