Re: [Elecraft] Inductor size in KX1
Hi Don, Had the same concern. No fear, I checked with Elecraft and Lisa informed me that was the correct inductor as they can not get the mini style any longer. I carefully bent the leads on mine to allow it to fit and still be low profile, works fine business! Good luck with the KX1, finished that, went on to the K1 and am now working on the K2. I just don't know what I am going to do when I run out of Elecraft kits! 73 Bruce W1UJR www.w1ujr.net On Mar 21, 2007, at 6:35 AM, Curron HILL wrote: I am building a KX1 and I am installing the inductors.

RE: [Elecraft] Inductor size in KX1
You should have gotten this sheet in your kit: http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%2 0Rev%20B.pdf It describes the inductor issue and how to install the slightly larger ones.
