Been there done that as a test builder. This is one complex update that needs extreme care, even for those of us who might proclaim we know what we are doing.

I want to close out this thread now that my KX1 is back on the air on 80, 40, 30, and 20 meters. I was doing another close visual before following up on Don's advice to remove Q9. During that process I must of dislodged something that was causing a short in the vicinity of T2. There were a couple of through holes I had difficulty clearing to mount T2 and I think perhaps there was solder ball or something that was hidden by T2. Once dislodged everything came "back to life". Needless to say I was quite relieved!! So, this re-enforces Don's advice to check the soldering closely and perhaps to pay attention to any solder debris that might be left "laying around." Don - thanks for the tips and assistance to help me through this. 73, W4SDM Shawn Morrow Fairfax, VA ----- Shawn Morrow W4SDM -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/KX1-appears-dead-after-KXB3080-PCB-installed...-...Help -please%21-tp2266733p2344222.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
