Hi, It appears to me that all the mini-chokes RFC6-7-8-9 supplied with the KPA100 kit is not yet small enough to fit into the outline on the PCB, as shown near J8 (the DB-9 connector).
The assembly manual does not state anything about the assembly direction of these chokes, if or if not they may be installed upright instead of flat on the PCB - but it appears there may be room to do so. I'm worried that if i attempt to force them in lying flat, I will damage the chokes insulation or cause for an open joint. Any experience here from previous KPA100 builders - what to go for ? 73' Brian OZ2BRN K2 # 6936 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
