[Elecraft] K1 build question: T1, turn count method.

[Paul Gacek]

I have completed the RF board RX build portion and about to test it with the filter board and front panel.

I realize I may have a discrepancy on turns for T1.  I count a turn by tracing the wire around the toroid and get 4 turns of green but the manual page 14 states I should count a turn each time the wire passes through the center of the toroid which is 5.

As T1 is an impedance match (1:5?) will the “extra” turn make a huge difference?

Intuitively I would say yes as it’s 20% more turns by the page 14 method.

Any guidance on whether I should correct this is welcome.
