[Elecraft] KAT2 instructions - error?

[Don Wilhelm]

Andrew,

There must be a lockwasher at one end of the standoff - it is an overall 
length thing, so it really does not matter which end of the standoff the 
lockwasher is placed.  Do what seems right - yes, the manual says it 
both ways, and that is confusing.  It is easier to put the lockwasher on 
when first mounting the standoff than it is to slip a lockwasher on top 
of the standoff when attaching the second board to the other end - that 
is all there is to it.  The manual words are correct, the diagram is 
older and shows the 'hard' way to do it.

73,
