[Elecraft] Slightly cracked ferrite core in BL2 kit

[Don Wilhelm]

Michael,

If you will ever use the BL2 at its maximum rated power, then by all means
ask for a replacement.  If you will alway use less power than the max, the
real answer is one of asthetics - if you want it to look 'pretty', then
replace it, but it should work just fine even though the corner is damaged.
(These are just 'educated guesses' and free advice - which is worth every
penny you pay for it).
