k2 s/n 4886, cap C45, page 65

[jon howe-2]

Hi:
Similar to cap C6 on page 57, do I install cap C45 in the outer two of
the three holes?
The marked outline suggests that, but that middle hole seems placed
ideally for the lead spacing of the supplied part.

I just looked at a K2 RF Board and it leads me to think you are trying to
place C45 in the wrong spot - there are only 2 holes where C45 is to be
inserted - the position is to the rear of the board from the 'C45' label and
right next to the relay.

Yes, spread the legs of the small capacitor to fit the hole spacing.  That
action is necessary for several of the capacitors in the bandpass filter
area.

Hi:
On my board, that extra hole that I referred to is almost underneath the
relay, and it intersects the silkscreen outline of C45.
Nowhere near the ends of the oval outline like all of the other caps, so
I figured that it didn't apply, but I just wanted to make sure.
I was just a bit leery of using inductive reasoning on a capacitor.

Sorry, I meant C33, not C45
