[Elecraft] K1 Assembly - Need Help Already!

Wed Apr 30 10:05:01 2003

The Wide flat side is the one that should line up with the "picture" on
the board.  I just built #1546, and I ran into the same question.  Have
fun and take your time....

Well, folks . . . after soldering in my first resistor on the KFL1-4
Four Band Filter Board, I'm in need of assistance.  On the Errata sheet,
it says:

"The trimmer capacitors supplied with your KFL1-4 kti are different from
the ones originally supplied. Change the description to Trimmer
Capacitor, 1-40pf"  etc.

Well, here's the problem:  In the assembly manual for the KFL1-4  it
says:

"Note that each trimmer's body has a flat side, and that they are not
all oriented in the same direction. The trimmers must be oriented as
shown to keep their rotor terminals at ground potential."

And the problem is, these trimmers have TWO flat sides!  A narrow flat
side and a wide flat side. So I'm trying to figure out if they should be
oriented with the WIDE flat side or the NARROW flat side facing the flat
on the PC board.

Thanks in advance . . . etc etc . . .
