[Elecraft] KPA100: mystery resistor

The 33 ohm 1/4w resistor so many of you have commented on, was an earlier
value for R10 in the HV diode bias supply. The correct value for R10 is
47 ohms. The resistor was probably left in the parts bag from the
original kitting, rather than us trying to fish it out, and the 47 ohm
resistor was then added later as an ECO. The 33 ohm resistor should have
been removed from the BOM (bill of materials) by now, but we will check
that.

Thanks, and good luck to everyone with their KPA100 kits. Be sure to
build them slowly and carefully, and make SURE the toroids are the
correct cores and have the correct turns and perfectly tinned leads
before you install them. Several folks have confused the T50-10 black and
FT50-43 gray cores.
