Hi Don Actually, I thought I HAD added the errata. I put a note that the COLOR of the choke might not be as listed....but if it mentioned the SIZE as changed I missed that!! In any case, the parts list a QTY of 4 large 100uH chokes...which I have. And then it lists the miniature 100uH choke which I do NOT have. So I would have thought I'd have found 5 (FIVE) large 100uH chokes if I'm supposed to use one of them for RFC15 ????
