[Elecraft] What tools to build kx1

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I'd suggest a DMM (Digital Multimeter), not a VOM (Volt-Ohmmeter). Gregg =
may
have meant DMM in his message.

A DMM is built to produce low voltages in Ohms range that won't hurt the
components and it has a high (>10 meg) input resistance when measuring
voltages. VOM's often produce enough voltage in Ohms range to damage
solid-state components and their low input resistance can mean grossly =
wrong
voltage measurements at times. You really need to know what you're doing =
to
use a VOM when building modern gear like the KX1.=20

A good temp controlled Solder Station....a VOM and a good side cutters =
and
off you go.......enjoy as I love my KX1...took it to Las Vegas a couple
weeks ago and strung a wire in my room and had at it on 40 meters....
