[Elecraft] KFL1-4 Trimmers

Tue Feb 19 15:38:01 2002

What I believe John may have forgotten to say was that what he describes is 
the way to determine WHICH of the two pins is to be connected to GROUND... 
however, this appears to NOT be the flat side, but the more ROUNDED side. 
So the flat side would be the pin NOT connected to the adjustment screw of 
the CAPACITOR.

Note - I got this info from comparing scans I made of the (UNPOPULATED) K2 
PC boards, incl. the RF board. I looked at the scan of the top of the board 
and can see that the LEAST NARROW side of the capacitor is connected to 
ground. So the 'flat' side you are looking for is the MOST NARROW side.

Use an ohm meter, from the screw on top, to the leg on the "flat side" of the
trimmer CAPACITOR should be a short.
