[Elecraft] KAT2 L1 Wire Length?

[Don Wilhelm]

TAC,
If the wire reaches to the hole and you have the proper number of turns on
the core, it is just fine.
The lengths specified in the manual provide a bit of 'slop' - I guess to
allow for differences in winding techniques.
You will have a better looking job if you trim the wires to fit.
