KAT2 Question

[Matt Palmer-4]

At Don and others, when reading the manual it instructs you to install
R3, R4 and R5 but not to confuse R5 with R6, is R6 supposed to be
installed in this step as well, browsing through the manual i cannoth
find any other direction to install R6.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

R6 is not to be installed until some initial checks are made.  The
manual will tell you when to add it.
If you can't find the spot in the manual, download the .pdf version and
an Adobe Reader search for R6 will find it for you.

I got caught out by this and had to unsolder one end later.  The
manual needs to explicitly state that R6 is not installed with the
other resistors.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.

I guess most of us installed it when the manual told us to, not when we
fancied doing it.  In that context the manual does explicitly state when
to install it.
