[Elecraft] KX1 Parts Inventory Question

[John Mahon]

Jim,

Install C27, C46, C47, C48 & C49 as specified in the manual. Reform the 
leads if needed.
Install the LARGER 68pF DISC cap as C45 as per instructions on page 33.
Install the SMALLER 68pF blue epoxy cap as C53 as per instructions on 
page 34.
This smaller cap will solder easily between pins 2 & 3 of K1 and will 
satisfy the less than 7.9mm height requirement.
I did all of the above and my rig works great.
Have fun building and 73,

John N2YC
KX1 #336
