[Elecraft] KX1

Fri Nov 28 23:11:01 2003

Hi Ken,

Having recently completed the KX!, ATU and just installed the 30 metre 
option last night I can tell you that adding the two accessories later on is 
no problem.

The KX1 is constructed so that the ATU simply plugs into three plugs that 
are installed on the KX1 main board during initial assembly.  You remove the 
back cover of the transceiver and plug the ATU in...very easy.

I was worried that installing the 30 metre board was going to be something 
similar to brain surgery.  It is a little fussy, but if you follow the 
instructions while building the KX1 regarding component mounting heights 
then you wil be OK.  Even with poor lighting, poor eyesight and my arthritic 
fingers I was able to install the 30 metre board without any problems.

Installing the 30 metre board requires removing the main KX1 board from the 
cabinet, but all that costs you is an extra two minutes.

73 and have fun!
