Fred, Check the last part of item 15 in the Errata sheet - that explains that the choke for RFC15 may be the same as the other 100 uH chokes. You *did* transfer all the information in the errata sheet into the manual before you started did you not? If not, that is standard operating practice and very important.
I cannot emphasize the importance of the errata sheets enough - they contain the latest information and using that information can avoid many errors. In this case, it has only caused a bit of confusion. 73, Don W3FPR Fred Bennett N9TA wrote: > Hi Gang > > The trials and tribulations with #6705 keep coming....HI HI > I have looked high and low....over and over....and I can find > no RFC15.
