It also could be that the parts are in another bag, or laying loose
somewhere. I had this happen. I thought I was short one capacitor. Everyone
kept telling me this was an exception. I called and Scott mailed the
component. I went ahead with assembly as this cap was later on down the
assembly. Guess what, the cap was stuck to the back of the black foam that
the IC's were shipped on. Talk about egg on my face.
Moral: Wise man say part may not be where supposed to be, but part
more than likely IS there...keep looking.
I am assembling the KPA100 kit right now and I can't find either of
the 100pf caps C41 & C95. I sent an email off to parts. I hope I am not
wrong again.

Craig,
WOW - After assembling many Elecraft kits, I can say with certainty that you
have run into an exception.
Most of the time I only inventory the critical parts (the ones for which I
don't have replacements on hand) and begin assembling. Only a few times
have I had to dig into my spare parts bins. (Even so, I recommend against
anyone else doing what I do unless they too have a resource for extra
parts).
Complete you inventory and call (or e-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Scott
will likely put everything you need in a care package for you and ship it
promptly. It certainly does sound like 'Christine' was somehow distracted
when parting your kit.
73,
Don W3FPR
