Hi Bruce K1FFX, Yep, this is also pretty much similar to what I ended up doing - gently bending the leads down below the body of the miniature RFC package, letting them rest elevated about 1mm above the PCB.
Good picture - shows the detail of it, and good that there was a backstory to this and I was not the only one loosing my mind over such otherwise perefect build record. May I suggest you still check (as mentioned in the manual) with an ohmmeter that there is good DC contact through each of the RFC 6-7-8-9 to be sure that the bending of the leads does not cause for internal breakage ? 73' Brian OZ2BRN Den 05-01-2011 21:52, K1FFX skrev: > I believe this is what you are looking for: > > http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%20Rev%20B.pdf > > I found it after breaking one of the leads off RFC9 (!). > > You can have a look at the photo at: > > http://build-k2.blogspot.com/2010/12/rfc9.html > > Cheers - > > Bruce > > ----- > Bruce Rosen > K1FFX > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
