Would you advise against installing the 80 meter board during initial
assembly? If so, why?
Ron,
Since I had no desire to remove/change components, I was planning on
installing the 80/30 board during the initial assembly until I read some
advice posted here pointing out that if you have a problem, you have no
way of pinpointing it easily.
I assume the tests called for during the base assembly would not
necessarily be valid after making some of the required changes for the
80/30 kit.
Basically, I chickened out of attempting the complete build all at
once. Given that everything seems to be working FB here, I might've
been ok. But I was able to implement a couple of component placement
changes required for the add-on.
I don't look forward to making some of the changes but I think I made
the right choice. Some final words from the assembly manual: get to
know your kx-1 before installing options.
It would be nice if Elecraft issued an all-inclusive build instruction
manual.
The kx1 does 3eems to be working just fine and has compared pretty
favorably to my ft-897. I've worked a number of bumblebees in today's
sprint. Can't wait to get the tuner installed and hit the trail.
73,
Paul
