I am in the process of building my KPA-100. On page 36 of the manual I am installing C83. The instruction says Place C83 in exactly the position shown... Now the problem, I don't have the room to get C83 in the vertical position. While winding T2, one of the turns crossed over the other,

Brent, As long as it is 'sort of' vertical and its feet are securely soldered to the pads, there will be no problem. It is difficult to get it exactly vertical in most cases. I would think that it should not be leaning over so far as to contact the resistors. 73, Don W3FPR -Original

That is the main reason I do not use the S meter to give someone a signal report. I leave the AF gain cranked up and use the RF gain to adjust volume. It gives me a better chance at digging folks out of the noise level. Thus the S meter on my rig just gives me a fun light to watch while I
