Mike, I had to repair a lot of customer kits in the past. Withn a few kits I found glued Torroids and believe me, I hate them!!! If you have do rewind the torroid itself or if there is a problem next to a torroid, the glue will cause a lot of problems. .
I do not see any reason to glue torroides. If they are soldered correctly, they stay stable for a whole live without any problem. My Fieldtest K2 Serial 000009 has never seen any glue but is still working like a champ :-) 73 de Peter, DL2FI -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] Im Auftrag von Mike-WE0H Gesendet: Montag, 2. März 2009 08:44 An: Elecraft-List Betreff: [Elecraft] [K2]...Hot glue toroids to PCB??? Building my K2. Does anyone see any issues with using hot glue to glue the toroids down to the boards? I've never had issues gluing toroids down in my 600 meter projects. Inductance values have never changed from no glue to glued down. But with the K2, it just doesn't seem right to leave the toroids loose without gluing them to the boards. So what do you guys think, glue or no glue?
