Ross, 3 reasons I can think of: 1) The enamel wire supplied is a smaller gauge than the green and white wires that are also supplied. 2) If the enamel wire is scraped in the process of winding T4, there can be a shorted turn produced. 3) If the smaller wire is used, it may overheat also producing shorted turns.
If you do not have the proper wire, you can use most any #22 wire. If you use two different colors it is easier to tell which winding is which. Teflon insulated wire would be ideal, but not required at this power level. 73, Don W3FPR Ross Primrose N4RP wrote: > Why does the K2 manual tell you NOT to used enameled wire for T4? > > 73, Ross N4RP > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
