Mark,
Mount them vertically on top of the board. If you mount them on the
bottom, you will have trouble trimming the leads for one thing.
When snugging the wires down, tighten the one where the tinned wire lead
comes closest to the edge of the crystal case so it can't make contact.
If you scraped the wire insulation while winding the toroid, rewind it.
That was the problem in those old posts - scraped enamel insulation.

Hi. As I approach the final steps pertaining to toroids and chokes in
assembling the SSB option for the K2, I am reading older messages in the
mail archives about RFC1 and/or RFC2 shorting to the adjacent crystal
cans. The manual doesn't say, but are RFC1/RFC2 to be installed
vertically? The outline on the bottom of the board suggests they are
mounted flat, but i wanted to get some feedback before proceeding. A flat
mount looks pretty tight, while a vertical mount looks less so.
Thanks.
