I do have to disagree. I consider myself a careful builder and do not often
make mistakes, but even so, for myself, the most probable cause of failure
with an Elecraft kit is an unsoldered connection, so without remark about
the quality of Greg's workmanship, I hold to my statement - 'check
soldering'!!! I speak from experience.

Well, knowing Greg and the quality of his workmanship, I'd doubt that
bad soldering is the problem. Also, his rf test bench is probably on the
same level of, say, Ron's.
Searching the web didn't show us much info on "Info 090". Too bad it
wasn't "Info 80".

As I say many times ' Check the soldering, then recheck the soldering,
and when you have finished that, check the soldering.' That will fix the
majority of problems. The second most common problem is a misplaced
component - so go back over your components with the parts listing in
hand and be certain all the components you have placed are correct.

My Christmas gift (OK, I opened it early) says "Info 090" when powered
up. According to the manual this is "EEPROM Test #1 failed".
