KX1 3 questions.
1. KX1, s/n 2074, (basic unit), is on the air. Works perfectly with 589 QSO's
on 40 & 20 at 4+ watts. Only problem was installation of the &*$%*
battery holders with screws provided. Elecraft sent longer ones but the
plastic holders still are too thick for the longer ones too. (Wires are not
pinched). This seems to be the weakest link in a great rig.
Will build the 80-30 module and ATU next. I have received opposite opinions
on which module to install first. I'd welcome any comments.
Now the primary question. To stay with the kit concept, I'd welcome
suggestions on building, 'not buying', a small amplified speaker with a 2' cord
to plug into the phone jack on my KX1. I'm thinking along the lines of using a
LM386N chip with a 1" speaker in a small 1" x 1.5" x 4" Rat Shack plastic box.
It's just 'gotta' be home brew and small.
Any suggestions?
