Many thanks, all. I've had fun with in on 20 and 40; it's nice to finally be adding the second two bands! With best regards, Pete -- Peter N. Spotts -- W1PNS http://www.w1pns.net Email: w1...@arrl.net | Skype: pspotts QCWA #34679 | SKCC #4853T | QRP-ARCI #4174 NEQRP #714 | NAQCC #2446 |

Hi Folks, I've just installed the 80-30 board (filter left to go), and in making the final current and voltage checks, I was unsure if one reading was too high. If the current draw after the LED times out is between 34 and 37 ma, good. If it's much higher than that, it could indicate a short.

Pour yourself a glass of wine and finish the KX1 tomorrow Peter. :-) You're totally within the tolerance on the components, supply voltage ... and your meter. All of the Elecraft resistance/voltage/current checks are designed to be essentially obvious unless they tell you in the manual, and

Pete, That does not sound excessive - it is within a 10% range. The current draw on 80 meters will be a bit higher than other bands because the relay on the LPF board is not a latching type, so it must draw current when 80 meters is selected. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/26/2013 9:39 PM, Peter N.
