[Elecraft] KX1 Poor 30m sensitivity

[David Pratt]

M0CDP de G4DMP
I had precisely the same symptoms as you when I first built my KX1, 
Paul, until I discovered that I had stuck one of the wires into the 
wrong hole on the main board.  Once I corrected my error, everything 
worked perfectly.  It's worth checking.
