[Elecraft] [K2]...Hot glue toroids to PCB???

[Peter, DL2FI]

Mike, 
I had to repair a lot of customer kits in the past. Withn a few kits I found
glued Torroids and believe me, I hate them!!! If you have do rewind the
torroid itself or if there is a problem next to a torroid, the glue will
cause a lot of problems.  . 

I do not see any reason to glue torroides. If they are soldered correctly,
they stay stable for a whole live without any problem. My Fieldtest K2
Serial 000009 has never seen any glue but is still working like a champ :-)

Betreff: [Elecraft] [K2]...Hot glue toroids to PCB???

Building my K2. Does anyone see any issues with using hot glue to glue 
the toroids down to the boards? I've never had issues gluing toroids 
down in my 600 meter projects. Inductance values have never changed from 
no glue to glued down. But with the K2, it just doesn't seem right to 
leave the toroids loose without gluing them to the boards. So what do 
you guys think, glue or no glue?

Many thanks,
Mike
