Vin,
I'm in the middle of putting my KFL1-4 board (rev B) together also. I
posted a picture of the blue cap section here:
http://www.io.com/~nielw/qrp/KFL14_bluecaps.jpg . I just checked and the
only cap adjustment slots that do not show connection ground are four
that are grounded through a relay (and the relay is switched to the
opposite band). I've not finished it so I can only check via an ohm
meter but the toroids are not installed yet so i think my ohm meter
check is valid. Final tuneup will tell.
btw, I've had a lot of fun with my K1 See

Niel

> The new trimmers are correctly identified in the "Manual Errata", and it mentions they have a different shape from the old ones. It says the narrow flattened end of the new ones correspond to the flat side as shown in the manual's figure1. So far, so good. The manual ALSO says proper insertion is critical so as to keep the rotor terminals at ground potential. But when I insert the caps in this orientation, the exact opposite seems to be true, the pin which is electrically common to the rotor is NOT at the ground point on the Filter PC Board, the opposite pin is!
