[Elecraft] KXPA100 Assembly Manual Suggestion

[Tighe Kuykendall]

I assembled KXPA100 #333 this evening and have 2 assembly manual 
suggestions.

1.  Figure 4 on Page 6 and Figure 10 on Page 11 show the tabs for 
attaching the cable shield oriented in the 12 o'clock position.  I 
assembled them that way and found the Ant1 and Ant2 coax to be stressed 
at the connector when attaching the end panel.  I rotated the tabs 90deg 
counter clockwise so they're facing the 9 o'clock position and and found 
it much easier on the coax.  I also gave each tab a 45deg bend for less 
pull on the coax.

2.  Figure 6 on Page 8.  The warning just above the picture says "Place 
one lock washer between each standoff and the LPF board".  Figure 19 on 
Page 16 has a warning that says "If you failed to install two lock 
washers under each standoff as shown in Figure 6 on Page 8...".  I only 
put one washer and mine seemed to fit okay.  But they're conflicting 
warnings.

Awesome kit which assembled in roughly an hour.  Looking forward to 
using it!

73, Tighe
