[Elecraft] Re: K1-4 Filter Board New Trimmer Caps-Final

[vcortina at hvc.rr.com]

Hi everybody,

Another "experienced" ham comes to the room with his tail between his legs.
EE in college and over 25 years in electronic field service, and what do I
do?  Foul up, of course.  I did read the errata before I sent the original
email, and everything else.  I checked those caps 3 TIMES before I called
Gary. I was sure I was right!  That should have been the first signal
something was terribly wrong.  You were all correct, and Gary, of course
was correct (and unbelievably patient) and I apparently am no longer
capable of distinguishing a "flat" side on a silk screen.  I need to take
more and longer breaks.

By the way, I did finish the 4 band filter board last night with the last
of the transformers.  (I counted all the windings on all transformers and
coils at least 5 times each, so you know I probably messed them up too!)
Kidding aside, I am actually loving this, and I will be a little let down
when I am done. 

Of course, there's no telling when that will be.

Thanks again.

Vin  KR2F
