[Elecraft] K2 PLL Temp Comp Board

[DickandSandy]

Hi

I am building K2 #5538.  All was going well until I got to the PLL upgrade
kit.  By all the previous emails I have figured its an engineering change.
My two questions are:

1.  Can I use solid wire to mount/connect the upgrade board to the RF board,
vice the green stranded?

2.  Because there is no cladding on the front side, can I bend the wires
around the edge of thethe board edge and make the board sit directly over
the installation holes of the now defunct RP3?  This would preclude the
board sitting flat on the RF board.  I dont' want to find later when I
install a daughter board the extra height of the pll upgrade would get me
into trouble.

There is not much room to fit this into the space previously occupied by
RP3.  The color pix in the pdf file on line seems to show solid wire, as I
don't know why you would want to fight coaxing all those strands into those
holes (tried tinning).  Wiring the optical encoder by wrapping stranded wire
around the posts was bad enough, I'd have used solid wire...

I set the upgrade board aside until after the mounting of U6 and RFC 14,
figured it was easier to mount those before I "shoe-horned" in that upgrade
board...  Any suggestions??

Thanks
