[Elecraft] KAT100 build

[LEE HOPPER]

Fellow Elecrafters -

Built the KAT100-1 recently. Unlike some of my other non-Elecraft projects, 
this one works!

Have you ever spent frustrating minutes looking for the right place to put a 
part on a board? Maybe you eventually find it far from the last part you 
installed and behind a larger part so you missed it on your first few scans 
of the board? Well, with the KAT100 they give you hints that help find part 
locations and the sequence pretty much flows around the board in an orderly 
way.

Also, same Elecraft hi-quality board - a silkscreened reminder on the 40-pin 
mcu chip location to install the socket first.

A small quibble: the toroid pics in the manual (L1-L8) don't show the gap 
needed between the leads - thus the turns are in reality closer than in the 
pictures. Compare to KAT pictures on the Elecraft website.

All in all, another great product. Thanks, Elecraft!
