[Elecraft] Help (Question) on building my KX-1

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry, you are correct  that it will make no difference as long as the IC is
inserted correctly, but I strongly suggest that you manually notch the other
end of the socket (melt the plastic with your soldering iron tip, cut it
with a knife, etc.) or put some permanent marking on the socket or board to
call attention to this situation a year or two from now when you have
forgotten about this error just in case you change the firmware.
