And now it's complete, KX1 #2140! I still have to figure out how to configure the Auto tuner but other than that it works. I had one small problem on the final build. I had trouble with the wires under the battery holders and so now I have 4 shiny new bolts with equally shiny nuts sticking out from the bottom of my radio. No big deal it's just not as sleek and pretty.
Thanks to all who took the time to give me help with the trouble I had. Going to be a long cold fall and winter so maybe a K2 will get me through it. Well see what Santa brings. 73, Ed KE7HGA EMD wrote: > > Well after getting discouraged I decided to take some time off from my KX1 > project.
