Re: [Elecraft] Building KX1 with KXB3080

Steve, I just finished my KX1 within the last hour, with all the options. I had the same questions as you. Having been the whole route, I rather wish I had done what the instructions said, and built the basic unit first before even opening the options. I had a couple of problems later in the

[Elecraft] Building KX1 with KXB3080

I recently started building my KX1, following the manual to the letter. However, looking ahead I find that the manual does not include instructions for the kxb3080 module for 30 and 80 meters, or for the kxat1-r tuner. Instead, the instructions for these are packaged separately with the option

No matter how and how hard you turn the front panel knob, the display almost moves a couple Hertz, then settles right back to where you started. Bill NA7Y Bill, it depends wether it's an optical encoder or a mechanical. I assume the latter but I am not familiar with the K2 (dreaming about K3's)

On second thought (ok, I realized I was using the 100w slug in the Byrd and therefore reading the wrong scale), it seems to be running about 3w or just a hair more. Within spec to be sure, and I know there's no real world difference between 3 & 4 watts. I still wonder if there's any way to pus
