Ron, Thanks for the info. You are correct about the testing. I wouldn't have even done my test except it 'sounded' low. I'll be troubleshooting tonight. I may have miswound T2 or goofed on a component sub or better yet, soldered 'em to the wrong pads. I'll post my findings.

Fair enough. I will take a closer look and report back. Many thanks. 73, Glen Don Wilhelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Glen, The receiver front end was changed, but I do not believe it was compromised in adding 80 meters. It is likely you have something wrong there. I have found the typica

Dan, The trimmers will only change the receiver front end tuning, they will not have any effect on transmit. For transmit power output problems, the first thing to check is the Low Pass filter inductors. As a first step, make them look like the inductor diagrams in the manual, then use small 'twe

2006-06-26 Thread Dan KB6NU
I've been following the discussion on low power output from the KX-1 with interest. My problem is a little different, though. With a 12V gel cell, mine outputs 3.5 - 4 W on 40m, but I'm getting a watt or less out on 20m. Receiver sensitivity seems lower, too. I've tried readjusting the tri
