Thanks Glenn...

There was a pretty sharp fellow who designed the thing (Wayne,N6KR).=20

I just got the fun of showing folks how to assemble the basic KX1.=20

It really IS fun to play with...

I am extremely pleased with the rig. It receives well and is a blast to
operate. Ron did an outstanding job with the manual. In my case changing =
R30
to 33 ohms made the difference I was looking for. I am within specs of =
what
the manual states for output power. I have no stability issues with the
output. I am getting great signal reports with very good sounding =
transmit
audio. I do agree with Ron's previous comments about being careful if =
you
decide to change the value of R30 and stability issues. I also want to
caution everyone as Phil and I have found out. It is not easy to replace =
R30
once it is installed. It would be very easy to damage a relay, trim cap =
and
possible other components be careful. One other word of caution be sure =
to
do the resistance check on either solder pad for toroid L3 and ground. =
(See
page 55 in the manual) If you do not do this check every time the top =
cover
is removed and installed you can damage the final and other components =
if
there is a short to ground!

Thanks Ron for all your input and hard work with the KX1
