Hours 1:30:00 Total Build Time: 12:51:00
Today I continued building the "Front Panel" board of the K2 radio. As you can see from the photos a lot of the components have been soldered in.

| Potentiometers and Microphone Jack |

| "Font Panel" bottom side with U1 socket |
U1 is the LCD driver chip

| LED Bar Graph for signal strength |
Ran into a little trouble soldering in J1 on the bottom of the "Front Panel" circuit board. It was not all the way flush. I checked it but it was off when I finished soldering it onto the board. I spent 20 - 30 minutes with the solder wick unsoldering J1. I was able to get it straightened out and re-soldered. Got to be more careful checking the alignment of the Jacks and plugs before soldering them all the way on to the board.
