Hi Gang
The trials and tribulations with #6705 keep coming....HI HI
I have looked high and low....over and over....and I can find
no RFC15. This is a subminiature 100uH choke that is tacked
onto the bottom of the RF board. I have the Qty 4 of the regular
100uH chokes that I'm supposed to have....but no additional
miniature 100uH.
Now here's the question: I've looked at the schematic, and RFC15
feeds power to the Synthesizer (U4). Without power to that chip I
am through with the assembly of #6705 til Elecraft can get me a
RFC15 shipped out. So I used one of the regular 100uH chokes...
keeping the lead lengths as short as humanly possible...and it actually
fit rather well. Is this likely to have any ugly consequences? I will
contact Elecraft about the shortage....and I'm sure they'll handle it with
the efficiency we've come to love and respect....but I don't want to
lose this weekends effort! Actually....IF the installation of the larger
choke gives me no instability issues, is there a reason to bust up a
sexy solder job on the larger one I cabbaged in??
Jeez...this is not NEAR the fun I remember on my previous two K2s!!
I'm having serious regrets that I didn't go with a K3 instead....HI HI
Hmmmm, wonder if they'd let me trade up :-))

I hope the old Elecraft MOJO is still active!!
