[Elecraft] Started building my K2 have a few ?

[Matt Palmer]

Almost complete with the control board and had a couple questions for the
peanut gallery. There are pads on the board for a C44, however this cap does
not appear in the inventory, and is not mentioned in the manual, I assume it
is for an additional module but we know what happens when you assume things.
Also does anyone know the gold plating thickness on the right angle
connectors? I am generally unhappy with the wetting I am getting on several
pins and am concerned about these solder joints breaking somewhere in the
future, has anyone else had this problem (Before I get the canned responses
I am using a Metcal RF soldering iron with a 037 tip and am building the
board in compliance with JSTD 001D Class 3)


Thanks a bunch.
