Display Protection Boards
|
I did not say that mods are "needed", only answering a question that was asked. The "protection mod" is addressed on the JackAl groups' site. I'm sure it's possible to connect a power source incorrectly to a barrel power connector or wire the display incorrectly, but we think fairly unlikely. I believe there have been two cases where someone blew the display, so it can happen, but 99% will never need the mod. It's like life insurance: You hope you never need it, but the risk, no matter how remote, is still lurking in the background. The mod is there for those who want to implement it. Jack, W8TEE

Rick: Any envelop or package that cannot pass through an auto-cancellation machine (which appears to make a 180 degree turn in the process), must be sent as a first class package with hand cancellation. The minimum charge for that is $3.66. Jack, W8TEE

Hi Vince, My Postman delivered my 3 assembled [JackAl] Display Protection Boards this afternoon, 6/29. A couple of the connector pins on one board were leaning, but should straighten-out completely...and easily. Just as a heads-up, the Postman also left me an envelope with a bill for an additional $2.66 postage; the package was showing $1.00 postage, but that apparently wasn't sufficient, curiously. According to my Postal Scale, the complete package weighs 0.9 Oz., so the postal system must have classified the package's rate as something different than a First Class piece. Not a problem for me, but I thought I'd mention it to you in case some others are receiving the 'surprise' with their boards. Take a deep breath, Vince, and get ready for your next project! (The hard part is over! That was the first one...they'll get easier!) Thanks for taking the plunge to make these devices available, and 73, Rick, K7PHM On 6/13/2019 07:02, Vince Loschiavo
