KPA-100 Question

[Brent Sutphin WB4X]

I am in the process of building my KPA-100.  On page 36 of the manual I am
installing C83.  The instruction says "Place C83 in exactly the position
shown..."  Now the problem, I don't have the room to get C83 in the vertical
position.  While winding T2, one of the turns crossed over the other, and
the windings may be slightly longer because of this.  I have C83 mounted but
it is not vertical as shown.  It is mounted at a slight angle.

Question; Do I need to rewind T2 or will I be OK?

Thanks
Brent  WB4X

Brent,

As long as it is 'sort of' vertical and its feet are securely soldered to
the pads, there will be no problem.  It is difficult to get it exactly
vertical in most cases.  I would think that it should not be leaning over so
far as to contact the resistors.

Folks,

I'll be in Belize fishing April 23-30.  I'll be around the qrp watering
holes on my KX1 probably 2300-0100 UTC after fishing.  Fishing is the
priority. ;)

The lodge is located in the heart of permit country on Northeast Caye, which
is one of the islands in the Pelican Range, 18 miles Southeast of Dangriga,
Belize.  I applied for the license by mail on March 17th and it arrived this
pm 14 hours before departure.  Now that's timing.

73, Gil V31CA/NN4CW
