probs with 30/80 board

Gary Swain
ive just fitted 30/80 board & its working great but the left hand number on the display keeps flashig up a number "8" it is also usually brighter than the other 2 figures in the display. Anyone have any ideas on where ive gone wrong?

Thanks, Gary, 2E0BFJ

Gary,

Did you solder the wire from the "E" pad on the KXB3080 board to the
correct via hole?  Check carefully, then double check and triple check.
Also, is the firmware chip fully seated?  The narrow part of the leads
should be fully into the socket.  It takes a good deal of force to seat
it - put both thumbs on the chip and fingers under the board and press
until it is seated.
