[Elecraft] Re-assembly

[Mike]

Thanks, Don.
I had put pan-heads in the crossbrace. I still dunno where the long 
pan-head came from, but Elecraft had very thoughtfully supplied a bit of 
extra hardware, so she's all zipped up again, the new firmware is 
loaded, and we're on the air! Life is good.

Find out where you used a 3/16 inch pan head where a 1/4 inch should 
have been.  Most of the screws on the rear panel are 1/4 inch long.
