[Elecraft] Just ordered a KX1 Have questions

[Sander Wissing]

Hi,

I also had plans to take a week to build it, but ended up building the
radio in one (long) night and all the options the next (shorter) night.
In all I had about 15 hours in the building.

 This was my first serious kit and I took my time measuring resistors
and such before building them in.  I would probably build the next one
in about 8-10 hours for the radio and 2 hours for the rest.

Good luck, and don't be surprised to look at the clock and see 3am!

Cheers
