Re: Toroids Loose on Arrival

From his pictures a couple of the toroids had bent over slightly and one in the
bandpass filter was turned about 75 degrees.? The toroids are not glued in place
in this kit, leaving possibility for users to make modifications without having to
remove or break glue.? It is a feature, not a problem.? If after receiving your new
BITX-40 v3 you want to secure the toroids, this can be done using hot-melt glue,
melted wax, or model airplane glue.? Other adhesives might also work.
I would suggest not securing the VFO inductor until you are sure you have it
adjusted to cover the tuning range that you desire.? It may be necessary to remove
or add one turn on this inductor.? This situation arises because the 40 meter
band is slightly different in different ITU regions.
