[Elecraft] K2 Diffuser Again

[Tony Parker]

Ok.  Thanks to Tom, David, Al and Ron.

I am going to try 'solder flow' method first.  If that isn't  
satisfactory,
I will try the to splice the lead as plan B.

After getting the lead length thing out of my mind, and getting  
cathode and
anode correct, I can see that there is no way to install it wrong.

The density here is pretty striking sometimes....

Thanks again for your help.
