[Elecraft] K3 - s/n 1591 - TCXO module question

[Ann and/or Bill Tekatch]

Hello everyone.

Things are going really well with the build of s/n 1591 (I had the power 
on tonight for the initial power-up test - so exciting!!!) but tonight 
when I went to put the TCXO module on the KREF board, I discovered that 
the leads on the module are too long to allow its bottom to "rest 
against the socket" as described on p.46 of the assembly manual. Is this 
a problem? Do I need to trim the leads?
FYI the leads are 1/4" long and a gap of 1/16" is left between the 
bottom of the TCXO module and its socket when it is fully engaged.

BTW for those of you keeping track of delivery times:

K3 kit ordered May 9
Katiegram August 27
Delivery on Sept. 5

I really appreciated receiving this info. when I was awaiting my K3 - my 
thanks to everyone who shared this info. on the reflector!

Thanks for looking & 73
