[Elecraft] K2 Binocular Core

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The recommendation is to "interleave" the two windings instead of simply
wrapping the white windings on top of the greens windings. That should
improve the coupling slightly. Wind it so the green wire runs over and under
the white wire. 

The K2 should make the full 10 watts on all bands as long as you wind it per
the instructions, but some K2's just barely make the 10 watts on 10 meters
and the Elecraft builders are famous for tweaking and prodding for an extra
few milliwatts! It's sort of part of the genetic makeup of a habitual
builder/tinkerer <G>.

In final stages of K2 build (winding last toroids).  I remember a comment
passing through the reflector a week or two ago about winding the binocular
core differently than outlined in the manual.  Before I get to it, thought
I'd ask if this was something I should do?  Maybe the comment wasn't about a
K2.
