[Elecraft] KX-1 has been born, TWICE

My only nit-pick refers to the (routing) of the green toroid wire L2-1 from
the LPF1 module to the KX-1 BOARD.  The errata sheet gives the 100% correct
procedure, but practicality told me it won't work.

------------------------

For the record, all the Elecraft assembly procedures are developed actually
doing the assembly with the eyes of a relative novice, then documenting what
works. The photos are actual photos of the unit being built. 

Once the assembly procedure is developed, a number of field testers build
kits using the same procedure, reviewing and critiquing the illustrations
and the wording of each step. 

Only after their inputs are evaluated and the manual revised does it get
printed for shipment with the kits to customers. 

Then feedback from customers are constantly evaluated and change made
accordingly, but from the very first unit shipped, the assembly procedure
has been documented by actually doing it step-by-step as shown and tested to
be sure it works.

Experienced builders will sometimes take shortcuts or have their 'own way'
of doing things. That's FB, but someone just following the manual as written
will end up with a properly working rig meeting all Elecraft standards.
