William,
   Thanks. I have alot of experience assembling PCBs.
   I cannot get the proper amount of paste on the tiny pads for the SX48. They end up bridging.   

Timothy,
  Yes I used PCBExpress (NOT ExpressPCB, they are different firms). 
  For a first timer I would recommend "ExpressPCB", I have never used them but Jon Williams swears by them.
  There are many things that can go wrong with gerbers. For instance the last board I had made one hole was 0.0194 instead of 0.020 and the gerber ignored it. And the holes were not on the drill file. So when I got my board they looked very nice execept for 3 holes not being drilled or plated thru. Basicly the whole lot was trash. $300 down the drain. And it was my fault. I didn't count the holes and compare that to the drill file. Oh well lesson learned.

Bean.
