Sooo??? - the KX1 is a "solder" type kit. It is the KX3 that is "no solder".:-) I meant to say "collector" instead of "connector" - please forgive - actually my excuse is that the letters are wearing off my keyboard and I am not fully a touch typist - only halfway there, so you pardon the mistypes. The "E", "A". "N", and "M" are completely worn off and the "C" is only half there.
