[Elecraft] Summary: W7BRS K2 RFC15

[W7BRS]

K2 Builders,

The issue was some RFC1,2,12,13,15 are the same size in the kit, but the 
instructions/errata call for a subminature RFC15.  The size keyword is 
what got me off track.

The current online Errata: 
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K2_Errata_Rev_G-6.pdf

The errata note color is not important, but the size issue isn't redlined 
out.  If you were looking for a tiny RFC15, use one of the other 
BRN-BLK-BRN 100uH RFCs regardless of body color for RFC15.

So, the summary is:  RFC-1,2,12,13,15 do not involve "subminature".

I would red-line out subminiature out of the instructions.

Thanks to all that responded to quickly.  I did carry on because I saw 
that I had some flexibility to put in the xtals, ground to cans, and start 
the torroids -- I can go back to the step for RFC15, and then resume 
torroid fun.

Thanks for the help,

-jeff
