Interesting, but that jumble of toroids on the rf board is just plain ugly. I like 'em neatly lined up like on my K2. In SN 31 the toroids look more aligned and orderly. What I did note is the packaging, being layered, did apply some pressure to the taller components causing some toroids to lean a little. I plan to gently stand them up, but I may wait until after I have the rig running and baselined. I don't want to tweak any conditions that were present during alignment and test. On the KAT3 and KPA3 boards, the toroids are larger and the effect is more pronounced, but still useable as is. I still need to see what the assembly manual might have to say about this.
