[SOC] A Real SOC question

[Richard -WA6ES]

If I remember correctly yes you can. Heck I had to think for a minute. Watch somebody say no. But the math says yes.

Subject: [SOC] A Real SOC question

Where else can a guy go for a question like this but the SOC list!

I've decided to try a build an SLA  charger from the May 2001 issue of QST. 
I ordered and received the PC board from Far Circuits and I'm gathering the 
various parts for the charger.

I have two questions:

Here's my first question -- In looking at the PC board I notice that there 
are no labels for the parts.  Just holes and traces.  So( he asks somewhat 
embarrassedly) is this normal?  Do I need to figure out from the QST 
schematic what goes where?  Or is there a secret only First Class Ops know 
about?

Here's my second question, which I think I understand.  --- the schematic 
calls for a 1K 1 watt resistor.  Can I use two 2K 1/2 watt resistors in 
parallel? (I think so, right?)

Thanks for your help,
(this is going to be some project :)  )
