[Elecraft] XV50 TRANSVERTER - L17

[Chris Page]

Two questions about the XV50 transverter, please?

1. The Alignment and Test on Page 25 of the Owner's Manual says the 
core of L17 (along with L1, L10 and L11) should be removed and 
discarded as it will not be used.

On the following page is a table telling you how to preset the slugs 
in the inductors for each transverter.  For the XV50 it says the slug 
in L17 should be set two turns down from the top.

What page is correct, please?

2.  The slug in L13 is cracked and doesn't turn.  Any tips on how to 
remove it without damaging the inductor?

If the answer to question 1 is page 25, then I can use the slug from 
L17 to replace the  broken one in L13, otherwise I assume I can use 
the slug from L1 which appears to be the same size?

Thanks for any help and advice.
