[Elecraft] K2 L33

[AJSOENKE at aol.com]

Scott,

I just installed L33 in a K2 last night. The wire should not require 
stripping in any manner. Be careful and don't flex it too much it is very fragile. 
Follow the procedure in the assembly manual closely. The hardest part is after 
the coil is in place on the rubber spacer, and the small 5.1 MOhm resistor is 
formed over the coil and soldered in place. The next operation requires looping 
each of the two wires around the ends of the resistor wire near the solder 
pad. It is best to use a tweezer to gently slip the wire ends around the resistor 
lead on each side and if you can, wrap it once more, then trim excess wire 
and solder the connection. Examine the solder joint with a magnifier and you 
should see a smooth well bonded solder joint. BTW Elecraft support is very good 
about answering e-mails, usually same day unless its a weekend or late at 
night. The list is a good backup in any case.

Good luck  es 73 de Al WA6VNN
