I have a question.... I've only finished soldering the Miniwave PCB. I
plan on mounting it in a week or two. One thing I've noticed that baffles me
a bit.... On a standard(non-MOTM) Miniwave kit the LED's get mounted to the
top of the board so when you screw the bracket on to the plate, they go
right into the Blacet faceplate. I noticed that on the MOTM Miniwave
faceplate the holes for the LED's are in a completely different place. How
are people handling this?
