K2: Size of RFC15 - No different from green ones

[David Woolley (E.L)]

The manual says that RFC15, as well as being tan coloured, should be
much smaller than the other 100 microHenry chokes, but it appears to be
the same size as the four green ones, namely about 6.3 mm long by 2.1 mm
diameter.  The obvious reason for this was that it was being used to
patch between pads that are only about 3 mm apart.

Is there now no real difference except colour?

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.

I suspect the small tan RFC15 has been dropped from the kit, David, so you
have all the same-size RFC15 inductors now.

An off list reply pointed out that there is a recent constructor
bulletin on this point, although it doesn't quite say that they are now
the same size.

The bulletin is at

Thanks.
