[hpsdr] Mounting Munin T1 & T2??

[Dick Faust]

Go to the Munun2 page and read.
http://www.k9ivb.net/Munin2/index.htm

You should also download and read the following two documents:
http://www.k9ivb.net/Munin2/Munin2_General_Construction_Info_07052013.pdf
Especially page 6 and
http://www.k9ivb.net/Munin2/Mounting_The_RD100HHF1.pdf

The supplied spacers are 1/4" and the heat spreader is also 1/4" so the 
board will short to ground without a longer spacer.
If you can find a 3/8" spacer it will come close.

Do not keep bending the leads or you may crack the seal on the 
transistor body.
