[Elecraft] KX1 Manual Rev B Question

[Jay Blass]

Hi Gang,

Well the kit is enroute as we speak, so I am perusing the manual yet =
again.

Question from KX1 Manual Rev B on page 42 referencing the R42 resistor.

"Your kit includes an extra 22 k resistor (red-red-orange) foruse at =
R32. This resistor is not present on the Revision B or B1 PC boards. It =
must be soldered in place in the location shown below,on the bottom of =
the board between pins 2 and 3 of U4 (LM386N). (It could also be =
soldered across the pins of C19, nearby, whichmay be easier.) Trim and =
bend the leads approximately as shown."



The second sentence confuses me. I don't understand the meaning of "This =
resistor is not present on the Rev B or B1 PC boards..." followed =
immediately by the admonition that "it must be soldered in place..." The =
resistor also shows up in the Rev B schematic...

Do the currently shipping boards require this little puppy or not? What =
revision are we up to on the PC boards?

Thanks for the help,

Jay
