Good call Buly : )
Sorry for the 'pointed' reply, I'm under pressure and always concerned about every piece of hardware I ship out. Part of it is paternal feelings (freaky huh?) and part is the fear of the almost inevitable call from the lawyer of some widow whose husband has crashed with an RWS product on board.
Shipping your (and Rusty's) units back Monday.

Thanks Tracy. I sent it because had a feeling that there could be a problem also. It was modified since the canopy was pushing down on the connector.

Buly,
I was preparing to ship your EC2 & EM2 back after repairs when I noticed the EC2 control panel in the bottom of the box you sent. I normally don't need this when repairing EC2s but yours turned out to be an exception. I noticed what I thought to be more shipping damage. The connector was bent down at a considerable angle. On closer observation it was apparent that this was an intentional modification as the solder connections had been reheated and the connector solder pins bent down while pulling them out of the board. The solder connections had been re-soldered. During this process a couple of the connections were broken. This caused several of the programming modes to be disabled and even worse, the Mode selected on the thumbwheel switch was not always what was actually being programmed. To say the least, this is a formula for disaster.
Don't do this to my babies! If it won't fit in the location you are trying to fit it in, find another location or modify the location, NOT THE EC2!
I'll try to get this fixed before leaving next Tuesday but it'll be close. No promises though.
Tracy
