[K3] K2EXREF installation question

[Jim Spears]

I am assembling K3/10 s/n 8353.  I have the K3EXREF board to be installed on
the K3REF.  While looking over the instructions and trial fitting the
hardware, I noticed something that seems odd.  There is a ¼ inch standoff
installed between the two boards, when I install the EXREF board, the pins
do not fully insert into the K3REF socket and the standoff does not fit
snugly between the boards.  

 

Should the K3EXREF pins insert fully into the K3REF socket?  And should the
standoff fit loosely between the boards?

Jim - Figure 9 shows a space between P3 and J4 and my K3EXREF
installation looks exactly like that. They do not fully mate. Without
opening my K3 to check, I do not recall the 1/4-inch spacer being loose.

How about heat dissipation if the intent is to operate the radio in the box
and encased in foam?
