[Elecraft] KX1 C45/C56

[Nick Yokanovich]

Thanks, Ron

I didn't think there was any electrical difference, but was worried 
about clearances since the disc is taller.  The disc seems to work 
better between the 2 and 3 pins of the K1 relay since it was easier to 
hold while slabbering it to the pads. So far it is going together great. 
Some tight spots, but no more difficult than an NC20, and far fewer 
toroids hi hi!
