RFC 15 miniature?
Locked
 
|
Hi Folks,
I am building #5930 and I'm at the point of installing C91, C88 and RFC 15 on the bottom of the rf board at U4. The manual talks about a miniature 100 uH choke, much smaller than the other 100 uH chokes and with a tan body. I have 4 green bodied and one tan bodied 100 uH choke, but the tan bodied one is pretty close to the same size as the green ones, if any thing a little bigger. I have no miniature chokes at all I'm sure I can solder it to the indicated location, but is this something I should be concerned about? Bernie W1AZ asked this same question on the list back in Sept. but I can't see where anyone answered him. Thanks in advance, Bob K6GGO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Bob,
Put the smaller tan bodied choke in for RFC15. Elecraft switched to the larger choke after a goodly number of them were destroyed during assembly - those ultra tiny ones do not permit much flexing of the lead next to the body. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Hi Folks, > I am building #5930 and I'm at the point of installing > C91, C88 and RFC 15 on the bottom of the rf board at U4.
