[Elecraft] KX1 Parts Question

[Oscar Staudt]

Maybe I'm being a little paranoid, but since everything else in the
instructions is SO precise, I wanted to ensure a slight part variation was
intended.  - L9 (4.7uH) is specified as a "micro" size -- the smaller size -
in both the instruction text (page 31) and the parts inventory
  - The only 4.7uH inductor (brn-blk-brn) sent is actually a "mini" size -
the larger size

The inductor will fit on the board, but the leads will have to be bent right
at the point where the lead exits the device molding - and the text
indicated these inductors are very fragile.

Question:  Is the mini size L9 what you are sending now with some of the
kits? (rather than the smaller micro size)

If so, no problem -- I'll just chunk it in there and not worry.

BTW, alignment and test Part I went perfectly.  I haven't had so much fun in
years.  Great kit, great assembly manual.
