I agree a little more guidance in the manual would prevent the potential for problems with the installation of these chokes.
After building my KSB2 I made the following suggestions to Elecraft ----------------- Manual used Rev E, July 20, 2004. Instructions very good. Some minor suggestions. Page 3 "Mis Wire #24 insulated, solid conductor 2ft." Did not use and could not find any references to it in the text?? Page 8 Second tick box. "Install D5 (1N4148), on left side of the board near Z1 and Q1" Suggest change Z1 to C34 Page 10 Installation of Xtals. There is minimum spacing between the X3 and RP1, also X5 and RP2 for RFC1 and RFC2. The hole size for the xtal leads allows the xtals to either be moved slightly together or apart. A note to keep them slid together makes for easier installation of RFC1 and RFC2. Page 12 Installation of RFC1 and RFC2. If you strip the leads to the normal 1/8" of the core there is a lot of bare wire which could short on to the xtal can if not careful. If it was suggested to pre-mount the chokes to find out how much wire needed to be stripped before stripping the wire, this would avoid this problem. Page 15 Bottom line. "....OP2 - OP5 also select OP1...." change to "....OP2 - OP5 also. Select OP1...." ----------- -- 73s, Nigel ZL2DF _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
