Inductor size in KX1
Locked
 
|
I am building a KX1 and I am installing the inductors. L9 according to the
instructions is suppose to be a micro size inductor. Instead the one included in my kit is a mini size. It is the right value. Any body know of any reason I should not use it. Why was it changed? Accident or intentional? My manual is a Jan 2007 edition. Thanks for any help, 73 de KB3DRW Don _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Don,
Had the same concern. No fear, I checked with Elecraft and Lisa informed me that was the correct inductor as they can not get the "mini" style any longer. I carefully bent the leads on mine to allow it to fit and still be low profile, works fine business! Good luck with the KX1, finished that, went on to the K1 and am now working on the K2. I just don't know what I am going to do when I run out of Elecraft kits! 73 Bruce W1UJR www.w1ujr.net On Mar 21, 2007, at 6:35 AM, Curron HILL wrote: > I am building a KX1 and I am installing the inductors.

the top left item in "Builder Alerts" addresses this subject. 73, Ken K3IU At 06:35 AM 3/21/2007, Curron HILL wrote: >I am building a KX1 and I am installing the inductors.

You should have gotten this sheet in your kit:
<a href="http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%2">http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%2 0Rev%20B.pdf It describes the inductor issue and how to install the slightly larger ones.
