I built one of their 140 watt amps for a 20 meter HB SSB rig. I only have
it configured for one band, 20 meters, but left room to add filters for all
HF bands. It works great.

Walter,
This is probably not your problem, but might be worth checking. Make sure
you have the filter BWs entered correctly. I had a problem, I entered the
250 Hz filter as 250 and is should have been .250. I got some crazy

start learning to copy from off the air QSOs.

I thought I read some where that you can use the 13 kHz filter to transmit
AM by using the transmit DSP to limit modulation bandwidth.

So are you saying that all Kx kits are now RoHS compliant?
Except the solder preference of the builder?
As soon as Lead based solder is used on the Kx kit it will automatically
