Hi Don,

I suspected I was most likely a case of bad luck with a component so thanks for confirming that.  Yes, I was thinking ahead on how I would be removing it.  I thought about trying that approach and crushing it with pliers to get at each pin.  Being clear on three sides will make that a little easier.

De-solder braid and a de-soldering pump have been my tools of choice for the past 30 years.. I'll be sure to be really careful, so thanks for also mentioning that point.


I'll contact Elecraft and ask for the part.


thanks,

Cameron


PS, that was a fast response to my question, very much appreciated!
