[Elecraft] IC Socket

Sat Dec 18 10:06:17 EST 2010

I am working on the KAF2 audio filter for my K2; at least I will be as soon as the missing voltage regulator makes it thru the Christmas mail. Naturally my junk boxes have 5V, 8V, 9V, 12V etc., but no 6V regulators! Hi Hi !

The  instructions state that the real time clock IC is static sensitive. Can I put this IC in an 8 pin header rather than soldering it to the board?
