Well the replacement choke arrived here at the office today. I'll post an update when I get home tonight (The soldering iron will be warming up the second I walk through the door!.. Alright.. Well, after I say hello to my wife!)

Just remember to REPLACE it when the new RFC arrives. When you install the new RFC... bend it's leads with your fingers and solder it in place quickly... 2-3 seconds, max. 73, Tom N0SS At 08:29 PM 8/17/2005, you wrote: >Wow you guys are good!
