Paul, It all depends on your building confidence level. If you are quite confident in your work and have the ability to merge 2 sets of instructions together, then the answer is "yes, do it" - but if this is your first time attempting such a shortcut, be careful - once you go down that path, there is no looking back and in case of trouble, the results can be confusing.
However, if your skills and experience are limited, then the answer is "Do it like you are instructed". If you wish to proceed with the combined changes and minimize removing components, Install L6 on the back of the board, do not install C26, C27. C1, and L7. Then do the procedures shown in the KX3080 manual through page 7. When you have checked out the operation of the KX1 on 40 and 20 meters, continue with the rest of the KXB3080 instructions. You will have to remove L1 and L2 from the PC board, but that should be a minor "inconvenience" 73, Don W3FPR On 9/10/2012 11:58 AM, PGSchreier wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on a KX1, and I also have the 3080 module.1 > > I'm thinking it's best to do the 3080 mods as I build the KX1 -- or are > there some good reasons to build the "bare" KX1 and then do the mods (I > hate removing components!)?? > > tnx > Paul AA1MI / HB9DST > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
