John, It would appear that your KX1 is OK except for the burned/vaporized board trace. One possible cause is a short from Q6 to the case when it is assembled. Check for burrs around the countersunk hole in the case and if you do not have a nylon screw for securing Q6 to the case/heat-sink,

Don, A little powdered Rit Dye dissolved in a few ml's of rubbing alcohol will dye epoxy. A drop or two of that mixture will color the small amount of epoxy necessary to do the job. An old flytying trick... 73, Gil NN4CW ___ Elecraft mailing list Post
