After completing a KX1 kit and I ordered and built the 30/80 adapter. The conversion required removal of several capacitors, resistors, toroids, and a choke that were originally installed on the KX1 board. If you are anticipating installation of the adapter, I suggest a careful evaluation of the assembly manuals to determine which new components will be needed. Installation of these new components during the original construction of the KX1 would eliminate desoldering and removal of the old components. The desoldering method that works best for me is to heat and remove the component. Then, reheat and quickly blow on the area to clear melted solder. Close placement of components on the KX1 board prevents the use of a solder sucker.
