Dan, I agree on the receiver sensitivity. I aligned my 2 band KX-1 with a -103 dBm signal. When I used a -73 dBm signal (standard S9), I got 4-5 bars on the S-meter for 40 and 20. Perfect! After building and installing the KXB3080 and doing all the RX alignments, I find the -73 dBm signal barely lights 2 bars on 20. Hmmm.
I expect the KX1 20m circuitry was compromised to pull it down to 80m. Just thought I'd share. 73, Glen, NK1N K1 #2144 KX1 #1516 Dan KB6NU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've been following the discussion on low power output from the KX-1 with interest. My problem is a little different, though. With a 12V gel cell, mine outputs 3.5 - 4 W on 40m, but I'm getting a watt or less out on 20m. Receiver sensitivity seems lower, too. I've tried readjusting the trimmers, but that didn't seem to help much. 73!
