[Elecraft] K2 - Need Some Help!

[stan levandowski]

There's a 4.7 pf cap that goes into "C6" on the upper right edge of the 
bottom of the RF Board.  The instructions are subject to a great deal of 
interpretation and have me absolutely baffled.  Perhaps I think too 
deeply, or, maybe I just think "differently", or, my brainpower is in 
QRPp mode today.

I'm now looking at the BOTTOM of the RF Board, with C104 to my immediate 
left.  I'm going to label the three holes at "C6"  as  "1", "2", and "3" 
with "1" closest to C104.

Now, I think the "two outer" holes in which the 4.7 pf cap goes should 
be "2" and "3".

Did I get it right?  I'd appreciate hearing from someone who has already 
gotten past this.  It's page 59 of the manual.


This was like a brainteaser!  The two outer holes could also be 
construed as #1 and #3, in which case the instructions could have simply 
said to avoid using the middle hole.  The directions to "Use the outer 
of the three holes, not the two holes closest to the left edge of the 
board" are confusing because the "left" edge of the board depends upon 
whether one is holding it top up or bottom up and the previous sentence 
in the manual had the builder looking at J15 on the top of the board.

Thanks much!
