Yes. I know. Given the instructions, I figured MOST would just jump in and start building. As for me, I prefer to understand the complete inventory. To each his own. I inventory the ENTIRE kit and designate the destination of each and every part. I have each part individually taped onto paper. All inconsistencies MUST be understood before proceeding. This is how I worked out that there were two capacitors short on in the control panel bag and "extra" in the RF bag. I am also short a few plastic washers. Before soldering each part, I check its identification AGAIN. I believe, however, erroneously that this decreases my risk of putting the wrong part in the wrong location. >All this chatter about truncated lines is just getting in the way of >building. Perhaps but it keeps me sane and keeps my anal nature from getting the better of me!! >And another thing, real men wind torroids ;-) Unless you >have a medical condition or other disability. I fully intend to wind my own toroids. My only "condition" relevant to ham radio is being a bit too anal :) tnx.
