Barry - As I recall its a fairly small board to assemble and install. But everyone builds things at different rates. I would guess one evening to build and one evening to install might do it. But I question how it relates to Dayton. Assuming you have the basic kit with no options, I would think that adding the tuner might be a better choice so you can use whatever wire you can get up/out for an antenna to use on 40 or 20. Those are probably the top two bands to pick for portable operation. 80 meters really requires more wire for a decent antenna. 30 meters can be a good alternative band during contests. So the 80/30 module can be a good addition but I would really want the tuner first. 73 - Mike WA8BXN -------Original Message------- From: K8QI Date: 4/15/2011 9:59:13 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX1 30-80 meter option Last week I finished my KX1 s/n 2520 basic kit. I've spent the week Learning the operation of the great little rig, 23 states and 3 countries (one was Yemen in a pile up.) I took it to "Show and Tell" at the local Ham Club Meeting. Glading accepting all the oh's and ah's. Now I'm Itching to build the 30/80 meter module. Again, thanks to all who give me Suggestions on building the kit. I plan on taking the KX1 with me when I Travel to the Dayton Hamvention and give it a true Portable Operation test. My question is - what is the average time it takes to build and install the 30/80 meter module? I want to make sure I'm allowing enough time to Complete it before I leave for Dayton. Thanks and 73 Barry K8QI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
