[Elecraft] [OT] A question for Elecraft

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Hello Jim,

Unfortunately I do not know offhand of a source of small PCBs which would 
suit your need, but some years ago when fiddling with my K2/100 and adding 
some surface-mount devices, I wound up having to make some small "daughter 
boards".

The type of PCB from which I cut these small boards goes by the name of 
Oktopad, and is stocked by Farnel.  Other suppliers might also carry stock, 
but I have not been able to check.  It is a predrilled fibreglass board with 
copper pads on one side.  One type has a copper "honeycomb" ground plane on 
the other side, another type does not have the groundplane.

73,
