Re: [Elecraft] KX1 45 deg stand?

2005-01-17 Thread Dennis Payton
Several months ago, I built what I call my KX1 Desktop Adapter, and it's 
worked out real well. It's made from PC board material, a few strips of lead 
(which isn't absolutely necessary), male  female stereo connectors, and is 
covered with stick-on felt. It's basically a U-shaped bracket that has the 
male connector sticking out of the middle of it, and a small post in front, 
that holds the paddle. It holds the rig vertically, which made it easier to 
build, and elevates it maybe 3/4, allowing me to more easily spin the 
tuning knob with my index finger.


If anybody's interested in how I built it, let me know, and I'll try to take 
a picture  write a short description sometime this week. Maybe it'll give 
you some ideas about building something yourself.

[Elecraft] KX1 45 deg stand?

2005-01-16 Thread John_K7FD

Since I'm primarily using my KX1 in the shack, has anyone devised a nice
stand for it? I'd like to be able to look at those cool red LED's...

Seems like a simple stand might do the trick and wonder if anyone has come
up with the perfect solution? Like maybe the KXS1 :)

Since I use an external paddle, a 45 degree stand would make a nice angle
don't you think?

Hi John,
i use a 3M  C-45 Post-It Note Tray holder for my KX-1
It has a  10 degree angle.
The shallow 10 degree angle allows use of the KXPD1.
