[Elecraft] K1 toroids.

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

I would recommend checking and re-winding some of those toroids - those
labeled as 'RFC--' or the bifilar wound transformer will likely be OK with
an extra turn, but T1, T2 and T3 should have the proper turns ratio and the
Low Pass Filters on the 2 or 4 band board depend on having the proper
inductance, so it is possible that the harmonic suppression of your K1 is
not up to par.
