[Elecraft] K2 Build

[Matt VK2RQ]

This is why the inventory at the start of the build is so important -- you identify all the parts, and in cases of doubt you can sometimes use a process of elimination to work out which part is which.

For C167, I removed it from my radio when I installed the SSB module. Here is a picture of it:

You can see it is one of the small yellow capacitors, with the legs formed quite wide. BTW, "monolithic" doesn't refer to the size :-)  It refers to the way the capacitor is constructed.

Good luck with the rest of the build.
