[Elecraft] Quick query on KX1 parts list - RF chokes

[Don Wilhelm]

Pete,

Your eyes are playing tricks on you - gold-gold-red does not make any 
sense for either a resistor or an inductor.  Gold is only used as a 
multiplier band (0.1) or a tolerance band (5%).

Have someone with good color vision (usually female) take a look at it 
under good light (sunlight is great).  Even if she does not know the 
color code, she can relate the colors seen.  Be certain not to confuse 
the body color with the color bands.  Sometimes a color band is the same 
as the body color.
The color saturation used to be much better - and that is not just my 
aging eyes, I have some old components with nice bright color bands to 
compare.

73,
Don W3FPR
