Joerg,
Thank you for the excellent assembly ?documentation and thanks also to the many other folks that have found issues and solutions in building the QRP-Lab kits.
To those that have yet built a kit, of any manufacture, the message is clear, ?read the manual, read the messages on a Social Media site such as this one AND follow instructions one step at a time…… check your every step.
Great job !
