[Elecraft] K60XV tuneup question

[Jessie Oberreuter]

     Heh, just covered this 1-2 days ago :).  The trimmers have no effect
on the 40m band.  The cap you removed is replaced on the K60XV board, so
any slug re-adjustment should be negligable.  The proper procedure would
be to switch to 40m, re-tweak the slugs (should be close enough to skip
the RX pre-alignment), then switch to 60m, tweak the trimmers for RX, then
tweak the trimmers for TX.

I had to take an extra 1/8" off of it, which was a minor pain with the cable attached to the RF board.
