K2 Builders, The issue was some RFC1,2,12,13,15 are the same size in the kit, but the instructions/errata call for a subminature RFC15. The size keyword is what got me off track.
The current online Errata: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K2_Errata_Rev_G-6.pdf The errata note color is not important, but the size issue isn't redlined out. If you were looking for a tiny RFC15, use one of the other BRN-BLK-BRN 100uH RFCs regardless of body color for RFC15. So, the summary is: RFC-1,2,12,13,15 do not involve "subminature". I would red-line out subminiature out of the instructions. Thanks to all that responded to quickly. I did carry on because I saw that I had some flexibility to put in the xtals, ground to cans, and start the torroids -- I can go back to the step for RFC15, and then resume torroid fun. Thanks for the help, -jeff ps.
