You count "passages through the hole" as turns in all cases with toroid
cores. A straight wire thru the donut is one turn. I can't answer your
question ["does it make a difference?"] because I don't have a K1, but I
did build a K2, and based on that, I think the answer is "Yes, it will
make a difference."

I have completed the RF board RX build portion and about to test it with the
filter board and front panel.
I realize I may have a discrepancy on turns for T1. I count a turn by tracing
the wire around the toroid and get 4 turns of green but the manual page 14
states I should count a turn each time the wire passes through the center of
the toroid which is 5.
As T1 is an impedance match (1:5?) will the “extra” turn make a huge difference?
Intuitively I would say yes as it’s 20% more turns by the page 14 method.
Any guidance on whether I should correct this is welcome.
