Just a follow-up on securing the Berg receiver. I've worked with 5 or 6 of these new boards now, and there seems to be some variation in the way the Rx sits on the board. In picture #1 the Berg Rx rested about 1/8" parallel to the PC board, so all it needed was a cushion of silicone to hold it there and keep it from vibrating its way out of the connector. The key thing is that on this board there was no pressure needed to hold the Rx in position, and also the Rx was well clear of the arming button.

In picture #2, the Berg Rx jutted away from the board, completely obstructing the arming button, because of the way the connector on the PC board was angled. In this case I had no choice but to use a very strong adhesive and clamp the Rx against the PC board for 24 hours in order to keep the Rx clear of the arming button. In this type of situation, if the silicone adhesive is used, you will see a separation like the picture in the previous post.
