The instructions didn't call for any realignment afterwards, and I
didn't do any.
The power figures below were calculated from the DL1, a DMM, and
OK, call me a nut. I checked my records and used to get 3.5W on 30 and
3W on 40. So yes, call this a success.

I'd like to chime in. I added the 80m band to my kx1 on Saturday, and
then gave it a real good work out... it worked flawlessly and the
audio quality is excellent!
What a marvelous addition to the kx1.

Hi Harvey,
This is for you. As I said before on this list, If you are having QRN, try
turning on the KNB2. On some types, particularly anoying kind kind that
sounds like frying bacon, it works superbly. But it doesn't work for all
kinds of QRN in my experience. No noise blanker does.

You've entered into the dark canyon on K2 building. That time when it

the NB really do a number on any of the noises I have run across on HF. It

It has been reported that L3 on the KX1's main board can become hot to
the touch when using the KX1 on 80 meters at full power (3 to 4 watts).
We verified this in the lab. The temperature rises enough after a few
seconds of continuous key-down time to cause a decrease in transmit
power output

Do all these extra pcb's, jacks, plugs and add-ons

strays and parasitic R/L/C's could be a factor - I

Another advantage is if you buy an option like KSB or one of the filters and
