[Elecraft] Q re Missing K3 Kit part

[Jeff Wandling W7BRS]

It's not a show stopper.

It just helps you provide a little extra pressure as you push the FP to 
the RF board.  It's nylon, it doesn't make a connection so there's no 
apparent impact to the circuit.

I didn't have the stand off either in my kit SN 2105.  I managed to use my 
finger to push the DSP board (tight squeeze) as I sandwiched the FP+DSP 
onto the RF board.  You have to be careful not to flex the boards.

It'll go.  The connectors on the RF board to the FP will mate easier than 
you think.

Be careful, but it's not a show stopper.

Of course, Elecraft may have a different answer...
