[Elecraft] L31 10 uH vs 12 uH (was: K2 #4830 IS ALIVE)

[Mike Markowski]

Good going, Ken!  Can't wait till I'm saying the same about #4834.

I've noticed a few notes regarding L31, and I'm not at that point yet in 
my K2 build.  It seems the concensus is that 12 uH should be used rather 
than 10 uH in the notes I've read, so I wonder why the kitted component 
was changed.  Any recommendations on whether or should use 12 uH from 
the start or better to try the supplied one first?

Thanks,
