[Elecraft] K2 SSB option's RFC1/RFC2 mounting orientation

[hawley, charles j jr]

Vertical. I didn't look at mine, and it's been awhile, but the pictures I have show them vertical. The manual also states that even though the outlines are on the bottom of the board, you mount the chokes on the top of the board.

Hi.  As I approach the final steps pertaining to toroids and chokes in
assembling the SSB option for the K2, I am reading older messages in the
mail archives about RFC1 and/or RFC2 shorting to the adjacent crystal
cans.  The manual doesn't say, but are RFC1/RFC2 to be installed
vertically?  The outline on the bottom of the board suggests they are
mounted flat, but i wanted to get some feedback before proceeding.  A flat
mount looks pretty tight, while a vertical mount looks less so.

Thanks.
