W8JI designed the unit and has written a very detailed alignment procedure that is on his website. A search on W8JI and MFJ259B will turn up a link. As coincidence would have it, I found a 259B at a hamfest over the weekend and plan to use his instructions myself. They look good, but I haven'

Richard- Ferrite cores used for rf chokes and broadband transformers tend to vary substantially more in their mixes than do cores manufactured from powdered iron. Thus, the inductance values of toroids wound with ferrite cores can vary substantially. The inductance values are not so critical in

Hi John, The capacitor goes between pins 1 & 4 of U3 (SSM2165). It should be mounted on the bottom side of the KSB2 board. The RF choke value is not critical and can be anywhere between 1mH and 3mH. If you use one of a reasonable size it can be easily fitted by unsoldering and lifting out one
