Brian,
If the toroid cores have a painted color on them, they are *not* ferrite
cores.
The ferrite cores are a dull gray. The more common ferrite cores are
type 43 Mix, but could also be a 61 mix. The 61 mix is a lighter shade
of grey than the 43 mix.
For reference, the tiny cores used for
Ken,
Although *supposedly* the inductor should be able to supply the needed
current, I recommend replacing it with a toroid.
Especially if the inductor is of the older miniature type.
12 turns on a FT25-43 or FT37-43 core will work nicely.

Ken and Don:
I am interested in this as well. My KAT100 is complete in the EC-2 and I just
started the KPA100 build today. I'm sure I have a few spare toroid cores
around here. How do I tell if they are the ones specified by Don?

I just completed moving my KPA100 and KAT100 into the EC2 enclosure. I am
really pleased with the result! Spring is here! All I have to do is
disconnect 2 cables from my K2/10 with KAT2 and hook up the camper for QRP
fun in the woods of Virginia. Can someone advise me whether or not it is
