[Elecraft] XV144

[John A. Ross [Ecraft]]

Don

Thanks for the speedy reply. The manual is Rev C April 2006. 

It is on page 25 and is the second step on the right hand column.

###
Skip this step if you are aligning an XV432. On an XV50, XV144 or
XV222, verify that the tuning slugs have been removed from the
following inductors. If not, remove the cores and discard them. These
slugs will not be used:
L1
L10
L17
L11
###

I cannot see a Rev C manual for download from the web site and non of the
errata shows this. 

Only things I can see for download are

*XV Transverter (50, 144, 222, 432) Owner's Manual Rev B. (March, 2006)
*XV Transverter Owner's Manual Errata Rev B-3 (April 24, 2006)
*Assembly Manual for XV50, XV144 and XV222 Rev B. (March 2006)  
*Assembly Manual Errata for XV50, XV144, XV22 ( Rev B-1 Aug, 7, 2006)  
*Assembly Manual for XV432 Rev C  ( April 2006)    

Perhaps someone put a Rev C manual cover on a Rev B manual as my page 25
looks exactly like the one from the Rev b March 2006 one which I can see on
the web site?

Any other errata that should be known about?

All best

John
