Given the instructions, I figured MOST would just jump in and start building. As for me, I prefer to understand the complete inventory. To each his own. I inventory the ENTIRE kit and designate the destination of each and every part. I have each part individually taped onto paper. All inconsistencies MUST be understood before proceeding. This is how I worked out that there were two capacitors short on in the control panel bag and "extra" in the RF bag. I am also short a few plastic washers. Before soldering each part, I check its identification AGAIN. I believe, however, erroneously that this decreases my risk of putting the wrong part in the wrong location. >All this chatter about truncated lines is just getting in the way of >building.

I fully intend to wind my own toroids. My only "condition" relevant to ham radio is being a bit too anal :) tnx.

Re: [Elecraft] base K2 RF board
Conway, From the Rev F manual, the bottom of the list of .01 uF capacitors is C175, C181, C183, C184 and C186. It looks like the height of the column stayed the same, but the width was reduced - the number of capacitors per line is greater in the Rev F manual than in the Rev G. 73, Don W3FPR Conway Yee wrote: >> From an earlier manual, there are .001 capacitors on the RF Baord at >> C1, C2, C9, C17, C26 and C27 in addition to the ones that do appear in >> the manual. >> > > Thanks.

This list of 5 capacitors is already in the Errata. This brings the inventory to 38 of 43 capacitors. There are still 5 capacitors missing. Assuming that only one line was cut off at the top, the remaining capacitors are missing from the last line (i.e. >C175). The line containing C175 is terminated by a comma. > The assembly instructions are correct, it is only the parts listing that > has these omissions.

The word processor likely leaves only a certain amount of space which is exceeded by having 28, 43 entries. I prefer LaTeX which calculates ALL of these entries on the fly, giving much better results. tnx.

Re: [Elecraft] base K2 RF board
Conway, From an earlier manual, there are .001 capacitors on the RF Baord at C1, C2, C9, C17, C26 and C27 in addition to the ones that do appear in the manual. For the list of .01 capacitors, add C52, C53, C55, C58, and C61. Those additions should make the numbers right. The assembly instructions are correct, it is only the parts listing that has these omissions. I have been told that it happened due to a formatting glitch. 73, Don W3FPR Conway Yee wrote: > Continuing my build of the base K2, I have identified two of the missing > designators in the Appendix A, page 1 0.001 and 0.01 capacitors.

Re: [Elecraft] base K2 RF board
Conway, Are you telling me that *that* printing error has not been corrected yet? The printer chopped off part of the component listing in the parts list. Ron (the holder of the documentation) tells me that the master is correct. I discovered this a while ago while trying to use the parts list to locate a misplaced capacitor in a new K2 that I had in here for repair. Sorry it has caused you a problem. 73, Don W3FPR Conway Yee wrote: > Continuing my build of the base K2, I have identified two of the missing > designators in the Appendix A, page 1 0.001 and 0.01 capacitors.

[Elecraft] base K2 RF board
Continuing my build of the base K2, I have identified two of the missing designators in the Appendix A, page 1 0.001 and 0.01 capacitors. C1 and C2 are 0.001 (102) capacitors as installed on p. 36, right column, 3rd item. C1, C2 are NOT listed in the Appendix A pages 1-3. For the 0.001 uF (102) entry, 28 capacitors are in inventory with 22 designators listed. Specifically C1 and C2 are not listed. Is there a list of the remaining capacitors (4) which are 0.001 uF, likely C175? Thanks.
