Hi,

Interesting, but that jumble of toroids on the rf board is  just plain 
ugly.  I like 'em neatly lined up like on my K2.


In SN 31 the toroids look more aligned and orderly. What I did note is the  
packaging, being layered, did apply some pressure to the taller components  
causing some toroids to lean a little. I plan to gently stand them up, but I may  
wait until after I have the rig running and baselined. I don't want to tweak 
any  conditions that were present during alignment and test.
 
On the KAT3 and KPA3 boards, the toroids are larger and the  effect is more 
pronounced, but still useable as is. I still need to see what the  assembly 
manual might have to say about this.
