[Elecraft] Inductor size in KX1

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

You should have gotten this sheet in your kit:

http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder%20Alert%20Installing%20Small%20Chokes%2
0Rev%20B.pdf

It describes the inductor issue and how to install the slightly larger ones.

Hi Don,

Had the same concern.
No fear, I checked with Elecraft and Lisa informed me that was the  
correct inductor as they can not get the "mini" style any longer. I
carefully bent the leads on mine to allow it to fit and still be  
low profile, works fine business!

Good luck with the KX1, finished that, went on to the K1 and am now  
working on the K2.
I just don't know what I am going to do when I run out of Elecraft kits!
