[Elecraft] K2 , Control diodes

[Don Wilhelm]

Ken,

I found a problem on a new K1 board with the silk screen markings.
Apparently the new ROHS compatible boards have solder pads that the
silkscreening ink does not stick to, so some of the parts orientation that
used to be present is now gone - and I do not believe the folks at Aptos are
aware of this condition yet (they will know tomorrow!!).

The immediate solution is to look at the Parts Placement diagrams at the
back of the manual.

73,
