[Elecraft] kat2

[Don Wilhelm]

  Dan,

The trimmer pots are OK, use the 150k value.
The capacitors are a different matter, there are two that must fit 
between the processor socket and the header to the L/C board.  The .001 
uF capacitors seem to have become "fatter" over the years due to 
manufacturing changes.  Check to see if you have 2 extra .001 uF 
capacitors somewhere in the kit.  As I recall, there were 2 disc 
ceramics in the last KAT2 kit I built (but then I may have pulled them 
out of my parts drawer, my memory can be "fuzzy".

There was a period of time when the errata sheet was included, but the 
parts ECO had not yet been updated.  So if you purchased the kit a few 
months ago and are just now getting around to building it, you may 
indeed have those capacitors missing - if so, contact 
parts at elecraft.com.  Explain carefully so that you receive the thin 
capacitors  There is no part number given in the errata sheet, but I 
know PN E530072 will work just fine even if you have to form the leads 
for the wider spacing.

73,
