Tony,
I would recommend you build the KX1 with the original value resistors.
If you cannot achieve 3.5 watts output with a 13.8 volt power source,
then change the resistors.
Check the power level again after installing the KXB3080 option.
If you will always operate the KX1 from batteries or a
Hi Gentlemen,
I have a KX1 kit purchased here in the UK in February. The Power Output mod
shipped with it (E850230.) I presume I fit these parts as described in
Assembly Part III rather than using the originsl 10 and 20ohm resistors
mentioned in the manual?I also have the KXB3080. Is
Don thank you for this rapid and complete answer. I'm printing this
email out to include with the KX1 documentation. I'll always be using
either the internal AA cells or a dedicated 12VDC wall wart so I think
I'll just install the mod now and avoid de-soldering.
73 and Seasons' greetings,
Stan,
The information in the Power Mod instructions is correct. SOME KX1s
have lower power output than others due to component tolerances. Ni
some cases, this becomes more of a problem with the KXB3080
installation. I would not arbitrarily install those resistors.
Install the KXB3080
I'm building my second fully optioned KX1. I built one a few years ago
with no problem and it was great. I sold it when I bought a KX3. I
missed it so much I just bought myself another one.
But I could use some advice because something doesn't make sense to me.
I opened the 30/80 meter
I just finished the build of the various KX1 items that I purchased at the
Viasalia DX Convention. All went well at each stage of the build from basic
KX1+KXAT1+KXB30+KXPD1. I am checking out the total configuration and I notice
something now that I don't recall see earlier. After I finish

Have all the bugs (if there were any) been worked out of the Kx1 80-20 meter
radio upgrades. I was thinking of building another Kx1, this one with 80
meters, but wondered if add the testing had been completed.
Did anyone use a 80/40/30/20 for field day? How did it work?

Managed to work N7RV in the Seattle area, so I may manage a QNI to ECN
in about 10 mins. I'm getting 1.7 W into a 26' wire with the steel
fence around the pool as the ground plane.
I just noticed that everytime I turn the KX1 on, it come up on 14040.0
regardless of where I had it before. Is
Hi, Paul.
I find the opposite to be true! When I connect my
26ft
wire to the BNC centre connector the receiver comes
alive
with signals!
When I connect the 16ft counterpoise to the outer of
the BNC, the receive level doesn't change at all.
But it does match better :)
I also get much better
I finished my KX1 and it seems to be operating
just fine, but I've notice something I've not
noticed on my K2, or on my ham receivers for that
matter. If I insert a long random length wire
into the KX1 I don't hear receive too many
signals; advance or retarding the RF gain has
little
Paul,
This is normal. You need two wires for your antenna. If you have the
antenna tuner option, you can use the Elecraft suggestion of the
following: hook a 16, 24, or 33ft wire to the ground side for 20/30/40,
and a 24-28ft wire to the center conductor. The Pomona BNC to binding
