<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have found a simple fix for anbody still concerned about the
Mercury ADC. I formed an upturned Omega shape from a strip of copper shim stock
about 50mm by 8mm. Just made the width at the top of the omega the
same as the pcb heat pad and soldered it on. Plenty of heat on the dissapator so
obviously pulling the excess out nicely.</FONT></DIV>
