[Elecraft] Appendix A page 3

[Don Wilhelm]

Color is not a good way to identify components (except for the standard 
color coding for component values).
The manufacturer can change the device body color on a whim, and if the 
kit manufacturer decides to change component suppliers, the colors may 
not be the same as before.
Refer to the designation on the component and not the body color.

>> Hello guys was doing an inventory of my K2 kit when I ran into I suppose a typo on the part list.  Page 3 of Appendix A D9 states you should have one 1N5711 Diode with Orange glass body E560004.  then D8, D11, D13, D18, D40, D41 states you should have 6 ea 1N4148 clear or blue glass body E560002.  I have found this to be wrong?  I have one blue glass body but the part number on the blue diode is 1N5711 of which I am suppose to have only one. I have 6 orange glass body diodes of which no part number can be seen on the diode.  Am I correct in assuming that the descriptions are wrong and that E56004 should say blue glass body, and E560002 should say orange?
