[Elecraft] K3 assembly questiion

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi Rich: 

If you look at Figure 43, part 2, on that page you'll see both a "before"
and "after" photo with an oval around the pins in question. Trim the pins on
the back side of the board to look like the "after". 

The issue is that if the pins stick out too far above the solder pads, they
will short against the adjacent board when the front panel is assembled.

Hi all

Am hoping someone can answer this one quickly.

I am building my K3 at the moment and am on page 32 of the manual just
putting in VFO B and I don't understand the instructions.

It says 'Cut only the five pins shown close to the back of the pc board so
they do not extend above the solder points'

Up until now everything has been easy to do but this has stumped me, can
someone explain what this means please?

Thanks


Richard, M5RIC
