Dale, you are correct noting the discrepancy. <BR> <BR>I didn't want to contradict an existing post from one of the experts, so the description I used was from Phil Harman in a Christmas day post. The way I interpreted his note is that "slot position" is different than the J1-J6 designations silk-screened on the board. For final docs though, I think it would be better to standardize on the silk-screened system.<BR> <BR><EM>From: Phil Harman</EM><BR><EM>Thread: Mercury sees first RF here</EM><BR><EM>Date: Thu Dec 25 00:56:30 PST 2008</EM><BR><EM></EM> <BR><EM>"This is how I am running my HPSDR.
