I think the manual says to squeze one of the output toroids until you 
get less output on 20m than on 40m, as a sign that the filter is 
properly adjusted for harmonic reduction.

When I was building my KX1, I brought it to a PAARA club meeting where 
Wayne was speaking, and he looked at my KX1 toroids which were evenly 
distributed, and said I needed to follow those instructions in the TX 
portion of the manual.
