[Elecraft] K2 Diffuser Again

[Tony Parker]

The 'solder flow' worked.  No need for plan B.

Now, I have one last question (ha ha).  In reading the Application  
note on the
LCD, it mentions a film that is on the back of some LCDs that can be  
seen as
horizontal stripes when held up to light.  I don't see any stripes,  
so far so good.

The note also mentions that the back of the LCD is solid white.  My  
LCD back
is silver not white.  Is this OK?
