[Elecraft] k3s radio kit

[Edward R Cole]

Good point not to put static sensitive items on plastic.  I leave 
those in their anti-static envelopes until ready to install them on 
the ckt board (always anti-static pad in use). My solder iron is 
anti-static which is helpful, too.

I have anti static side cutters and long nose plus ground my jewler's 
forceps just before picking up a sensitive device.  The less handling 
of those the better your odds of being successful installing them.

But saying that, I have accidently dropped them on the carpet and 
they survived.  I have removed sm devices and re-installed them 
successfully (though odds get worse if you have to do 
that).  Normally, if I have a spare, I just toss the removed item 
(most are not expensive).
