Lee,
If you don't choose to buy Mychael's pre-wound toroids (which I did for
the K2 RF board) you might want also to try these two hints:
1. Make sure to wind the toroid the right way, with the top wire being
on the correct left/right side of the bottom wire. Elecraft's manuals
always have pictures to go by. If you get it backwards, it will be a
mirror image of what it is supposed to be, and it won't fit in the hole
right, and no amount of turning the toroid around again will make the
holes line up, hi hi.
2. Everybody tells you to count the times the wire goes through the
hole, but nobody tells you how to verify it afterwards! Once you're
done, count the number of turns on the inside rim of the toroid and
ignore the outside rim.
