Re: [Elecraft] [K2] K2/KPA100 build for K2-7006
Thanks Richard (AD7FZ) for the replacement parts. Elecraft rocks! 73, David AJ4TF On Mon, 2011-01-10 at 00:22 -0500, david wrote: So far so good.

I am now up to the steps just after installing and winding the large output transformer.

I'm sure you will get a replacement, but be aware that you can super-glue a broken toroid together and it will work fine. Worth knowing for emergencies or if you live in Bhutan.
