Just finished the KX1 this evening (yea!) and I ran into something interesting as I got towards the end of the build.

I had forgotten to install C46 during part 2 (receiver construction) of the assembly.

This didn't seem to affect reception at all, but I hope it didn't mean that something was damaged in the meantime (read on...).

I finally put C46 in and everything seems to be fine. I tested the receive capabilities this evening and tried to test transmit, but I'm not sure if it's working or not.

I hooked up the KX1 to the DL1 (which was connected to my DMM) and keyed up a few dits and dahs.

I didn't get any response on my DMM. I figured I would get a few V out and that the DL1 would get warm. Nothing at all.

Boy, I feel really silly. I hope there's something really obvious that I'm missing...because I just don't get it.

Thanks for all your help.
