Hi
I have just finished making a K2/100 for a friend here, and I notice
that the KPA100 is now up to REV D-1 ( Sept 28 2006) and has a quite few
changes in it.
Amongst them is the addition of two new toroidal RF chokes that are filled
with #26 wire and because they are so full, the mounting holes on the (Rev
B) board are a bit far apart to be able to pull them down tight. I was a
bit alarmed at having a choke this size dangling upside down on flimsy
wires ( when in the K2) that I have broken the Elecraft Golden Rule and
used a small amount of non-acidic RTV under each choke to hold it in place.
( I guess the Warranty just expired after admitting that!)
I wonder if any other recent constructors have had the same concern for the
mechanical stability of these components?
Among the changes I see the pesky RFC10 on the antenna socket has disappeared!
Cheers.....Ron ZL1TW
