[Elecraft] K3 Clearance between KBPF3 standoff and toroid.

[Lee Buller]

Here is the official reply form K3support at elecraft.com about the KBPF3 Standoff and the toroid.....

Support said......

That's okay. I spoke with Wayne about  it, and he said there was no problem with:
  
 1) The toroid touching the stand off. It  won't affect the circuit performance. 
  
 2) Moving the toroid slightly, if there is  sufficient lead length, so it doesn't touch. 
  
 That's covered in the latest manual errata,  but it was  released only last week  and I see it's not yet on the  Elecraft web site.

End of message....

This was Build Concern #1 for me....because I am super cautious.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
