Well after getting discouraged I decided to take some time off from my KX1 project. After about 3 months I decided to get back at at with a little encouragement from Gary.
I was having trouble with the receiver alignment, no signal. I decided to go to the manual and review each step of the receiver build process and check for the obvious, wrong part installed and so on. The first thing I found was I never installed R2x, then in a close inspection I found L10 was cracked, crikey! So I installed the missing resistor and ordered a new L10. After installing L10 this morning I was amazed to hear a signal on my radio. I have not had time for the alignment yet but I will get to it this afternoon. So I hope to get finished and on the air soon, so I can frustrate everyone with my poor morse. Another learning process. 73, Ed KE7HGA -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/It-s-alive-sort-of-tp3829094p3829094.html Sent from the [KX1] 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
