K2 - Transformer T4 upside down

Euan-3
I've installed T4 "upside down", that is wire 3 goes to the 4 hole, and wire
4 goes to the 3 hole, with the same mis-ordering for wires 1 and 2. Is this
important? I'm running low on hookup wire so hope I don't have to re-do
this.

Thanks,
Euan M0GBZ

Euan,

Wires 1 and 2 are on the same winding, and 3 and 4 are the other
winding, and it is symmetrical about the axis that tuns through the
center of the core.  In other words, if you flip it over in that manner,
it looks the same - no need to change it.

Now if you had turned it around the other way and soldered the 1-2
winding in the 3-4 holes, that would make a huge difference, and would
need to be corrected.

73,
