[Elecraft] Did I get the wrong parts? DSP Kit

[Don Wilhelm]

  Carl,

If you look closely at the 3 terminal regulator that is U2, you will see 
that what you read as "78 MOSCT" is actually "78 M05" which is a proper 
5 volt regulator - use it at U2.

You should have a 28 pin DIP with a piece of paper on the top with the 
KDSP2 firmware level.  Don't peel the paper off, just believe it is the 
ATMEGA8L which is to be installed in the socket at U1.
