Hi all

I am working on the KPA100 for my K2 and I cam across these tiny little 
chokes. and I now have a question. Does it matter witch way you put in a 
choke? The larger chokes seam to have an outline on the board that 
indicates that it may be directional. I always just put them in with the 
tolerance indicator on the end of the indicator with the thick band (before 
you ask, no I didn't confuse the choke with a diode, at least not yet :-). 
But on miniature chokes 1/8w there seams to be no way to tell. So is this 
important or did my arranging of the larger chokes just make for a more 
consistent look?
