[Elecraft] KX1 Q6 problem

[Paul - VE1DY]

HI Colin...

You're not the first to have this happen.

In the archives you will find that some people took a 1/4" or 3/8"
drill bit and beveled (by hand) the top of Q6, to give more clearance
between the screw and the collector.  This works.

On some rigs, that screw goes down a little further.

Good luck.  The kx1 is a super little rig.

73, Paul - ve1dy
