Hi Andrea! You wrote:
L7 ... is really org-vio-gold (two people pronounced it "definitely orange") instead of yel-vio-gold. Is it a packing error or a documentation error? ----------- L7 is a 4.7 uH inductor, so it is really Yellow! Orange-violet-gold would be 3.7 uH, not 4.7 uH. How does its color compare alongside L10, which is orange-orange-black (33 uH)? --------------------------------- You wrote: On a related note, how much clearance is there between the crystals and the battery packs? My crystals are not as well-aligned as those of other builders and I soldered the ground wire on the side rather than on top, per instructions. ----------------------------- page 47, receive current drain test: text states typical receive drain is 32mA; the included errata sheet instructs the builder to correct the figure (35mA) on the specifications page, but not here. Display brightness at 2 gives 35mA and the only thing that saved me from another silly have-a-cow situation was good memory. ------------------------------- In both places the spec says "about". The current will typically be a little lower at the point of the test than in normal operation because no signals are being received at that point. Sorry for the confusion. You make a good point about a better-defined spec. for the current drain test. I'll bring it up with the KX1 designer (Wayne).
