Just a quick follow-up on this issue. A BIG thank-you to Don at Elecraft for the super support. As it turns out, there really wasn't anything wrong with my KX-1, it just needed a proper alignment with the XG-2 oscillator and a MDS test. 20m is a little quieter than the other bands, but that appears to be mostly due to band conditions and my ears. The MDS test came out at at least -122dBm for 20, which is acceptable.
Kudos to Elecraft for the great support and setting me straight on this. 73, Steve. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: KX-1 build complete, 20m reception problems From: "Steven Reed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, September 1, 2007 8:45 pm To: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just finished the construction of my KX-1, including the 30/80 meter module and the antenna tuner. The rig works fantastic except for one problem: the reception on 20 meters is notably attenuated. All the other bands scream. When I switch to 20 meters, the receive sensitivity seems to drop by at least half! Suggestions, anyone?
