My KXB3080 L3 Modification The L3 Mod is complete and working fine.
Before I installed the R11, R30 resistors, my KX1 power out with 13.7 VDC was: 80m 3.1 watts 40m 2.9 watts 30m 3.4 watts 20m 2.6 watts With the R11, R30 resistors installed and 13.7 VDC power out was: 80m 3.7 watts 40m 3.6 watts 30m 4.2 watts 20m 3.3 watts I just completed the L3 modification and my KX1 power out is: 80m 3.9 watts 40m 3.7 watts 30m 4.3 watts 20m 3.4 watts Power out was measured with into a DL1 (Dummy Load) and measured with a DMM. Granted the power out from beginning to end was not really that significant in the big scheme of things. It was simply an opportunity to burn some solder and learn a little more about my radios. I really do appreciate everything Wayne, Eric, Gary Surrency and everyone else at Elecraft continues to do for Elecraft builders, the general Ham population and myself. Three years ago I would have never dreamed of building a radio. Two years ago when I built my KX1, I prayed that I got everything right the first time, because I didn't think I would be able to find and fix any problems. Just thinking about winding Toroids put me into a sweat. Now it seems like one of the best things about being a ham is the tweaking, and fixing. Thank you so very much 73 KI4DGH Chuck Gehring _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
