[Elecraft] R115 On RF Board for K2

[Don Wilhelm]

Dale,

The leads come out straight and then bend downward at the location of the
holes - one bend in each lead, and the leads will not be down on the board.

The caution about the capacitors (especially those on the bottom of the
board) is mainly for component mounting height considerations.
