[Elecraft] KRX3 Installation ; ERR VCO 00227

[ww2r2 at g4fre.com]

I got chance to try the fix recommended by Aptos today 

As there is virually no lead length between the end of the windings and the 
connections to the pcb, it was a challenge to move the end turns, but by 
spreading the turns between the end turns the err vco 00374 no longer 
happens

open up the toroid on the vco board and spread the turns slightly.
