L9 in KX-1

[Mike Cizek W3MC]

Greetings - I bought a KX-1 at Dayton and am starting to build it.  The part
I have for L9, 100 uH choke, is a mini size, and the parts list calls for a
micro size.  Looking at the board, the holes appear to be spaced for a micro
sized choke.  Should I try to put the mini size in there, or get a micro
sized 100 uH choke??  Thanks.

Mike,

Put the mini-sized one in there - the micro-size ones are no longer
available.  Look on the Elecraft website Builders Resource page if you
cannot envision how to form the leads for the smaller spacing.  Just
keep the body as low profile as you can.

Hi, Mike:

Elecraft changed from the micro to mini sized chokes recently (part of the
RoHS changeover). See
<a href="http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%2">http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%2

On the Elecraft web site for details.
