[Elecraft] KC9EHQ New KSB2 revision issues

[David Dietrich]

Hi All!

I already E-mailed Wayne about this, but I thought I would share this with the rest of the group in case anyone got one of these recently and hasn't assembled it yet.  I bought the KSB2 with my K2...Unfortunately, when I bought the radio and options, the KSB2 was out of stock.  It took a few weeks to get this option because some components were no longer available, and Wayne and the Elecraft team had to perform some redesign work.  I got one of the new boards, and the assembly was going by swimmingly this afternoon until I hit a snag...ALL if the 1N4007 diodes will NOT fit into their holes because the leads are too thick.  This is more than a "tight fit"...They just plain don't want to go in at all.  I am not going to attempt to widen the holes on my own as there isn't much real estate to work around, and I don't want to damage traces.

Just an FYI, and no need for replies.
