Maybe some other K2 builder can help sort out the mixup and tell me if
there is a problem:
RFC1, RFC2, RFC12, RFC13 and RFC15 are all nearly the same size except
that One of them is a different color. There is no "very small" RFC15.
There are five 100uH solenoidals total in my kit:
Four 100uH solenoidal are dark brown bodies with BRN-BLK-BRN-GOLD bands.
One 100uH solenoidal is the hair bigger, tan body, with BRN-BLK-BRN-GOLD bands.
The tan 100uH is just a hair bigger than the other four dark body 100uH.
On page 53, step 5: The tan 100uH was chosen as RFC13 before I realized I
was also looking for a RFC15 (very small 100uH) on page 54.
See picture: http://w7brs.com/k2/rfc13.jpg
In this picture, RFC13 is mounted. (the odd ball tan 100uH). Resting on
top of the board above it is a representitive of the four dark body 100uH
that are nearly the same size to aid in explaining the difference. Notice
how close in size?
Can I simply proceed with these 100uH, or do I need the subminature RFC15
for the underside step 1 on page 54? Can I just use that dark body 100uH
to replace the subminature 100uH? Do I have a mixup that requires a new
set of 100uH?
Oh by the way, my way of soldering the leads for the PLL board also
includes my son's own LEGO radio; just for fun:

Any advice on the RFC13/15 question would be appreicated. Reply off-list
please and I'll summarize and repost the resolution.
Thanks,
