Tony,
I would recommend you build the KX1 with the original value resistors.
If you cannot achieve 3.5 watts output with a 13.8 volt power source,
then change the resistors.
Check the power level again after installing the KXB3080 option.
If you will always operate the KX1 from batteries or a power source with
a voltage lower than 13.8v, you can install the power mod resistors at
the start.
It is not good for the KX1 Low Pass Filter components to run it above 5
watts.

Hi Gentlemen,
I have a KX1 kit purchased here in the UK in February. The Power Output mod
shipped with it (E850230.) I presume I fit these parts as described in
Assembly Part III rather than using the originsl 10 and 20ohm resistors
mentioned in the manual? I also have the KXB3080. Is there any benefit
fitting this as part of the main construction or am I best to leave this and
get 20m and 40m bands working first?
