I picked up an unopened, 2 band K1 kit from an individual that bought a KX3 before he got around to opening building the K1. It's arriving today and I want to install the display backlight option (I don't believe he had ordered this option with the kit). I plan on starting the build as soon

Retrofitting the K1 backlight is exceptionally difficult, and installing new is easy. You could start assembling the K1, but for sure wait on the lcd assembly till you get the backlight parts. The assembly instructions are on the Elecraft site, you can read up on it before anything arrives.

I used to work in freight transportation. Here are the notes I took last year, when the lithium-battery regs were explained to me: The metallic lithium content limit for transport by air in carry-on is 8 grams equivalent for LiPO packs. The equivalent is calculated as 0.3 x the capacity of the

I just had a 270V fault come up on the KPA500. It's sorted now (I hope!) but I'm a little confused as to how it happened, although I do have a theory. I was fiddling around the back of the amplifier trying to retrieve a mains multiblock which had fallen off its usual perch. The amplifier was on

I've also installed the backlight retrofit and did not find it particularly difficult - just a little tedious. The tedious part is removing the remnants of the old LED pins and cleaning the holes after snipping the LED off. It helps to have a good solder sucker and braid. Just put on some
