[Elecraft] How Critical is R116's Value?

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary,

The value of R116 is not critical, it is used as an 'insulator' and not 
a resistor - go for any value higher than the original value.  For the 
body to fit inside the center of the toroid it must be physically small. 
  Most any high value 1/8 watt resistor will do a fine job.

In fact, anything that can serve as both soldering points for the thin 
toroid wires and also as a physical holddown for the toroid will work 
just fine.
