Have my KX1 up and running after 3 nights behind the soldering iron. All went together very well and just managed my first QSO (VK2-F6) with 2 watts of battery power. No problems except I managed to leave a resistor off the main board and installed the 30M module over the space !! What an excellent little radio and jam packed with features too, 'can't wait to take it on my travels'. Regards David, VK2NU
