[Elecraft] KX1 oustanding issues

[Sander Wissing]

Hi all,

 

My KX1 is more or less completed.  That is, completed barring some
outstanding issues.

 

1.                   Keying on 40m sounds OK, with slight thumping,
keying on 40m has no tone at all, just thumping. This is on a reference
receiver with short wire antenna, in the headphones on the KX1 audio
sounds fine.

2.                   Audio seems quite low, I run the AF Gain on max
permanently.  Injected sidetone is much better, so probably receive
sensitivity rather than audio amp?

3.                   When tuning into dummy load, it says power 4.5W,
r9.9  This dummy load measures an exact 1:1.0 on my MFJ analyzer.

4.                   Transmitting into my vertical on 20m, tunes to
4.5W, r1.3 (which is about right) on 40m the vertical is a very bad
match, the tuner says P0.5, r1.7

 

Anyway, don't know which of these are related, but I am awaiting the
collective list wisdom with bated breath!
