RFC15 should be Brown-Black-Brown (100 uH). I believe the only component in the K2 with the color code Green-Brown-Green is 5.1 Megohm resistor R116 that goes across L116 that you'll install shortly (page 60 of the rev G manual). Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Clark, R116 is normally in the bag with the BFO inductor. It sometimes gets stuck in the bag, look carefully. If you have to use a replacement, be certain it has a resistance of at least 2 megohms (it is really used electrically as an insulator), and it must be the 1/8 watt size because a
