LPA power tran's standoff's

[VE3WDM]

Greetings,
When it was time to put the bottom cover on over the LPA unit I found the cover did not fit all that well. Seems one of the power transistors was sitting a bit high. With some playing I was able to get the bottom cover on but still wondering if anyone else had this trouble? I checked the standoff's and washers all was good but it still was sitting a bit high. I did look at the LPA unit and it was fully seated and level as per the instructions. Any ideas....

I presume you are referring to the K3 low power amplifier? Yes, I did find the same thing. I eased it back up a bit so it was not quite fully seated but it was still about a millimetre higher than it needed to be.
