Hi Don, Well, I am really not "gifted" when it comes to repair. I tried your solution, but more problems appeared. Last one, I touched something with a metal screwdriver and now the last digit of the led is not working!!
So, I would like to ask yousomething: do some repairs at your QTH?? If so, and if you agree, I could send you my KX1.. and I would of course pay you any charge for repairing and shipping via Paypal or international money order). The problems Last LED not working (newest mistake I made) Sudden drop on RX on 30 and 20 (. I get a 1.0 SWR on TX on all bands with a dummy load, made the checks you suggested, but not fixed) I made a wire jumper to repair a broken link when I tried to introduce a scew for a new paddle. This is ok but un"esthetic").. Maybe not optimised for max RX. In the past, I made the mo suggested to raise a little the power output I really love my KX1 made over 1500 QSO since building it in Feb 2004 and want to do more Thanks for your attention, and have a nice day ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Wilhelm" <[email protected]> To: "Pierre" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 7:17 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX1 RX problem > Pierre, > > That is a strange combination of bands to produce a problem. > My guess is that you have either a faulty relay contact or a bad solder > connection/toroid lead in the KXAT1.
