K3 KXV3 Installation

[Mike KS7D]

I just finished installing the KXV3 option in my K3. Everything went  
smoothly until I got to the step on page 10 where you plug the KXV3  
board into J66. The instructions say the pins will just barely clear  
the top of J66. Well, try as I might I couldn't get the pins to clear  
the top of J66. So I clipped off the tips of the pins until they  
cleared J66 and I could plug the KXV3 board into J66. Anyone else have  
this problem? If so, Elecraft may want to add something to this effect  
to the installation instructions.

Mike, ks7d

IHi Mike,

I had this problem, but after endless fiddling I managed to sneak the board into place without cutting any pins. It *is* difficult and Elecraft ought to do something about it.

I noted no problems at all on my KXV3 installation.  Went in smooth as silk.
