I'm really close to getting one too, the K2 was just more complicated than I wanted to get involved with, but I was walking around Half Moon Bay last Sunday and thinking, how nice it would be to sit under a tree and make some contacts, on a KX1. That rig had it all, all in one box.

My first KX1 build, I built the tuner and 30m module and then set them aside, then built the rig, tested, then added the modules and tested. The only hitch in the whole thing was the 30m module, I don't know what I did wrong but I put the wrong wire the wrong place somewhere, and ended up just removing it and re-installing from scratch. Then the rig worked.

Gang-

My tools have arrived, the KX1 sits in its box, already inventoried,
waiting to be put together.

The KX1 manual says to build it without the options to aid in any
troubleshooting and to get familiar with the rig.

After reading a downloaded copy of the KXB3080 manual, I'm thinking I'd
be better off doing them both at once to avoid the rework. Any
thoughts, comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks and 73,
