K1 toroids.

Yves Dussault
 I recently completed the construction of K2 N4 4875 and it works very well!
Last year, I built K1 nr 1875 and I now realize that I wound ALL its toroids
with one turn too much!
But K1 works OK....
Would I gain anything by correcting my mistake and rewinding the toroids
with the proper number of turns?

What do our experts think?

RE: K1 toroids.

Don Wilhelm-3
I would recommend checking and re-winding some of those toroids - those
labeled as 'RFC--' or the bifilar wound transformer will likely be OK with
an extra turn, but T1, T2 and T3 should have the proper turns ratio and the
Low Pass Filters on the 2 or 4 band board depend on having the proper
inductance, so it is possible that the harmonic suppression of your K1 is
not up to par.
