Since the addition of the ATU to my KX1, and the fact that when operating portable I use an EFHW antenna fed directly with no feed line, I've been wanting to install a set of binding posts to eliminate the need for a BNC adapter. Anyone who's built a KX1 knows that it's a very tight fit inside it's case with minimal room for anything else. After lots of measuring and calculating then re-measuring and re-calculating, I think I've located the spots for the posts. Since I put a fair amount of work into it I thought maybe someone else might benefit from it, there's a JPEG image with the dimensions on my QRZ page. I figured these dimensions for the smallest binding posts I could locate: Radio Shack #274-661.
!!CAUTION!!: I have not yet drilled these holes and installed posts, I'm still waiting on nylon shouldered washers to insulate the posts from the case, this is simply the results of my measuring. Obviously none of these rigs are mass produced and each builder may build his slightly different so verify before attacking your case with a drill. Oh, and I could have made a mistake........ use at your own risk. 73 de KK0G Chris Ishmael ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
