[Elecraft] K2 front panel LCD soldering

[Conway Yee]

On page 27, right column of the current K2 construction manual, the
revised instructions tell me to place the spacers beside the LCD leads and
remove the spacers after soldering.  The original instructions tell me to
place the LCD leads THROUGH the holes in the spacer.  Presumably these
spacers are the LCD spacers broken from the RF probe/switch spacer at the
beginning of the construction.

Why did they change the instructions?  What is the advantage?

Not knowing the benefits of the new instructions, it would appear that the
old instructions make more sense.  The new method leaves the LCD supported
by only the leads.  The spacers add support.

tnx.
