Vin, I'm in the middle of putting my KFL1-4 board (rev B) together also. I posted a picture of the blue cap section here: http://www.io.com/~nielw/qrp/KFL14_bluecaps.jpg . I just checked and the only cap adjustment slots that do not show connection ground are four that are grounded through a relay (and the relay is switched to the opposite band). I've not finished it so I can only check via an ohm meter but the toroids are not installed yet so i think my ohm meter check is valid. Final tuneup will tell.
btw, I've had a lot of fun with my K1 See http://www.io.com/~nielw/qrp/QRP_Stn.htm 73, Niel > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 18 > Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2005 15:42:38 -0500 > From: "V Cortina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Elecraft] K1-4 Filter Board New Trimmer Caps > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Perhaps I am reading something wrong here, but... > > The new trimmers are correctly identified in the "Manual Errata", and it > mentions they have a different shape from the old ones.
