> For such a little board > the KXB30 was a real pain > in the you-know-where to install!
I knew I should have taken pictures of my kxb30 before I installed it. Before I started I had heard about nightmares installing this little gem. But when I got down to it I did not find it all that hard. You just have to leave plenty of wire and take your time and bend each one so that when it is in place ech wire will slide straigh in to it's appropriate hole. If I ever end up doing one for someone else I will remember to take the pics. The same goes for torroids. The KX1 was my first set of torroids, and again, I had heard how much people hate to wind them. I was afraid mind were going to turn out all sloppy and it was going to be a nightmare. It really was not. I use heat shrink tubing in the hole to hold the turns in place from the inside and a pair of foreceips to hold the starting end tight. That is something else I will take picture of the next time I do one. These pics of course I will publish somewhere on the web for all to benefit. kb3ipe dt . _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
