[Elecraft] Another K2 Toroid question

Sat Mar 8 11:58:06 2003

Thanks!  This is quite amazing.  I have asked only 2 questions on this
reflector.  Each time I get several responses even before I see my own
posting reflected to me.  You guys are great.  73, Brian

Brian-

What you are describing sounds fine. If the wire was the exact length
needed for the finished product, it would be tough getting a handle on
it as you approached the last of the turns. I leave the leads close to
1" on the toroids I provide in my prewound sets, but in most cases 3/8"
will easily suffice. As with the wire length, a little extra doesn't
hurt <G>.

Incidentally, Elecraft supplies sufficient enameled wire in their kits,
even if you make a few mistakes and have to do some reworking, so don't
worry about running out.
