Hello fellow PBs, Yes I've added yet another modification to my already "pimped-out" KX1. I have trouble zero-beating signals so I installed a K6XX Visual CW Indicator in my KX1. This allows me to tune to within +- 20hz on a signal and all I have to do is tune until the LED starts blinking to the cw.
I used the map light on my KX1 as my indicator, but as many of you know, it's on the front side of the KX1. When out in the field I grew tired of always lifting my KX1 to see the LED. So I bent the Map Light LED straight up and drilled a hole in the top cover of my KX1. Boy, what a nice difference! I now can easily see the LED while tuning. If I need a map light, hardly never, I can still just point the KX1 where I need it. I almost always wear a LED headlamp at night out on the trail. I'm now looking for a small 1/4" black hole plug to insert in the empty LED hole. http://www.polarbearqrp.org 72, Roo Bear Ed, WA3WSJ PB # 2 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
