[Elecraft] Re: KX1 didn't take long enough to build?

[Wayne Burdick]

Uh..... *I* wrote the option manuals, Jay. I'll fix the KXB30 typo  ;)

Note that wire insults are color-coded. For example, wire with red insulation
was probably stripped of its dignity. Wire with black insulation was grounded
for skipping spool. I'll spare you the rest of the details.

If the builder isn't sure, should he/she specifically insult a couple of the particular wires so as to be sure? Does anyone have any specific advice on how to insult a wire? Should you call it too skinny? Too short? Too long? Not shiny enough?
