Hi David,

I assembled the KDSP2 recently and it worked fine.  However, I assume 
that solder had wicked up into the J2 contacts - it was stiff to plug in 
the DSP board and then impossible to pull apart.  This made it awkward 
to subsequently remove the front panel.  So I broke up the plastic 
housing of the connectors with side-cutters, carefully, so I had 
thought, and pulled out the contact remnants one by one after removing 
as much solder as I could with solder wick and then putting a piece of 
bare, tinned bus wire heated by the soldering iron through each hole to 
clean it out.  After the new connectors were installed, I encountered 
the trouble previously described, which is definitely self-inflicted and 
not a problem concerning faulty parts being supplied to me by Elecraft.

Many thanks for your help.
