I had a similar problem in my recently completed KX1. I solved it by redoing the step in which you null the voltage reading from the trimmer cap (step says to set your meter at 2-3 VDC max, etc..) The first time, I attached a 40 meter antenna, which may or may not have presented a proper 50 ohm load. The null was at about 78 mV. The second time, I used a real 50 ohm dummy load, and got the null down to zero volts, easily. Don't forget to set ATU to "CAL" in the menu, rather than "TUNE", before doing this. Also don't forget to set it back to "TUNE" when operating for real :) Power is back to normal, showing about 2 watts on the 40 meter antenna, under battery power. Haven't tried external 12 VDC yet. Good luck and email me directly if I can be of any more help. Wayne/Eric and all: this KX1 is simply fantastic. Nice user interface, nice quality kit, great sounding CW note (monitored on separate rx), very very happy op. Have yet to make my first QSO and looking forward to it. Nice job. --Andrew, NV1B _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
