[Elecraft] KXV3A Install-Have not been able to seat pins in J66

[Richard Hill]

  I'm installing a new but old KXV3A board into the J66 block.  The
instructions say the pins should just clear the top of J66 when the BNC
connectors are up against the top of the back panel opening.  I am not
seeing a way to orient the board such that the pins clear the block.  The
pins seem to be just a bit too long.  This board was purchased back in
2011.  It is revision A.

I'll call Elecraft in the morning, but thought I'd try the brain trust here
to see if I can complete this project tonight.  No hurry, grin.  It feels
like I should be able to do this, but I'm just not seeing it.  I'm tempted
to cut the ends of the pins about 1 mm, but will wait till I talk to
Elecraft.  I have an updated board on order, but thought I'd just put the
old board in and see if I can get my P3 running.

Thanks for any thoughts!
