[Elecraft] KX1 power modification
I just traded my beloved little K1 for a KX1. The KX1 has the KXB3080 and tuner. I was going to try the power mod and wondered where you guys get resistors on the internet. I know dumb question but I'm not an electronics guru like you guys. I actually have the 33 ohm resistor but I can't find the 4.7 ohm resistor in my one horse town. The prices I'm coming up with shipping are in the $10-12 dollar range.

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification
Two 10 ohm resistors in parallel should do just fine, or similar combinations. 73 - Mike WA8BXN ---Original Message--- From: Stan AE7UT Date: 8/28/2013 1:16:07 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification I just traded my beloved little K1 for a KX1.

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification
I buy from Mouser (good for small quantities) or DigiKey. I usually buy more than one resistor because of the minimum shipping cost. I keep a list of things I'd like to have and order something about once a month. I bought a resistor assortment from Joe Knows Electronics or Sparkfun or Elenco through Amazon.com. Look on amazon for resistor assortment or capacitor assortment 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Stan AE7UT Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 10:16 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification I just traded my beloved little K1 for a KX1.

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification
I bought a couple of different resistor kits on Ebay years ago and I still use those as my main source. Buy more than you need definitely but in the end pay less then buying each time. Although, I am not sure if such kits have a 4.7 ohm resistor but I think it has the 33 ohm. So, use 7 33 ohm resistors in parallel :-). I know there are a variety of resistances under 100 ohms. There are probably different sets available -- buy them all. Of course, I have not looked on Ebay for the last five years at least so I am not sure if they are still available. 73, phil, K7PEH On Aug 28, 2013, at 10:15 AM, Stan AE7UT ae7...@gmail.com wrote: I just traded my beloved little K1 for a KX1.

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification
Hi Stan: If you don't mind waiting a few days, I'll be glad to drop a 4.7 ohm 1/4 W resistor in the mail to you. I'm over on the Oregon coast. If so, send me your postal address in a private message. 73 Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Stan AE7UT Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 10:16 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification I just traded my beloved little K1 for a KX1.

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 power modification
Stan, Is your address good on QRZ.com I will mail you a 4.7 ohm no charge... I only have 5% 1/8-1/2 watt let me know...this will get you going till your stock arrives... 73/Scotty/NU0S Dick Dievendorff die...@comcast.net wrote: I buy from Mouser (good for small quantities) or DigiKey.
