How Critical is R116's Value?

[Gary McKelvie]

Hi to the List,

I misidentified R116 and soldered it in the wrong place. I now have
R116 with leads far too short to hold in L33 on the underside of the
RF board in my K2.
I can get locally either a 4.7 or  5.6 M Ohm resistor of the correct type.
So would either of these be suitable as a replacement for R116?

TIA

Gary,

The value of R116 is not critical, it is used as an 'insulator' and not
a resistor - go for any value higher than the original value.  For the
body to fit inside the center of the toroid it must be physically small.
  Most any high value 1/8 watt resistor will do a fine job.

In fact, anything that can serve as both soldering points for the thin
toroid wires and also as a physical holddown for the toroid will work
just fine.
