[Elecraft] KPA100 trimmer flat side

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

I figure you have the blue plastic body trimmer caps there.

I do not have one here to check which end is which, but you can check
whatever you have in hand easily with an ohmmeter.

Check for continuity between the adjustment slot to each of the capacitor
leads.  Call the one that indicates continuity GROUND - align that ground
side toward the ROUNDED side of the board silkscreen outline.

73,
