K3 assembly questiion

[Rich-2]

Hi all

Am hoping someone can answer this one quickly.

I am building my K3 at the moment and am on page 32 of the manual just putting in VFO B and I don't understand the instructions.

It says 'Cut only the five pins shown close to the back of the pc board so they do not extend above the solder points'

Up until now everything has been easy to do but this has stumped me, can someone explain what this means please?

Thanks


Richard, M5RIC

Rich,

Does the illustration following that text help at all?  They are the
short ends of the 5 pin connector.
