[Elecraft] K2 Inventory Question??
Hello All, I'm doing the inventory on a K2 that's been sitting for a while. Building it for a friend. Not sure of the serial #. Around 5900 I think. The manual is January 2004 REV F. Problem is with RFC4,5,8,9, 10uh solenoidals (E690009). I have 4 tan brown-black-browns. The manual on page 5 of Appendix A says they should be green. Any thoughts on this one?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Inventory Question??
Ken, Gradually, the reference to body color is being dropped from the Elecraft manuals since that body color is changeable at the whim of the component manufacturer/supplier. A 10 uHy RF Choke is a 10 uHy RF Choke, no matter what its body color may be, so ignore the 'tan' or 'green' and go by the color bands. 73, Don W3FPR KEN wrote: Hello All, I'm doing the inventory on a K2 that's been sitting for a while.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 inventory question
Bill, Look at the last two resistors on the Bandolier. That is where mine were on #4248.

I wouldn't normally bother the reflector for two R's but R50 is 1.5 Ohms and low values not easy to come by here.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 inventory question
Bill, Elecraft continually improves things - we all know that. So now you will find R50 and R58 on the strip of resistors - at least they were that way for SN4192 when I assembled it. Yes, it has not always been that way - those resistors were previously shipped loose in the RFb bag, so your memory is working well. 73, Don W3FPR Life is what happens when you are making other plans - Original Message - Just completing inventory check for my second K2 (#4313)all well except can't find R50 and R58 (both 1/2 watt so not on the bandolier) are these normally loose in the RFb bag? or do they lurk in some other spot and I've had a senior moment and missed them?.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 inventory question
The two resistors should also be on the bandolier. 73 Johnny VR2XMC - Original Message - From: Bill Scovell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2004 1:46 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K2 inventory question Just completing inventory check for my second K2 (#4313)all well except can't find R50 and R58 (both 1/2 watt so not on the bandolier) are these normally loose in the RFb bag? or do they lurk in some other spot and I've had a senior moment and missed them?.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 inventory question
SN4355 has the resistors on the strip. So far, so good, I'm past the initial checks on the RF board (i.e. my control board and front panel work). I got an incredible headache sorting the caps. My wish for future builders: sort parts in a more sensible order so the RF board parts are divided into the stages. I know that means more labor at Elecraft, but so far that's my main complaint. :) On Sun, 4 Jul 2004, Don Wilhelm wrote: Bill, Elecraft continually improves things - we all know that.
