I just received my kit yesterday.
I found that the L1 lead, not the body which goes to gnd, was
shorted
to the gnd plane on the bottom side of the board. I used an xacto
knife to cut the bridge. This was not a solder bridge. I did not
use
that pad for fear of a solder bridge to gnd. I used the antenna pad
instead.
Check with an ohm meter before installing L1, the larger pad
(antenna
input) just above the silk screen that says C21 for no continuity to
gnd.
I had several wrong installs of the thru hole parts because I was
not
careful to pay good attention to the silk screen and the small
oriention line between the body of the resistor and it's other lead.
Good luck,
Marsh, NC7V
