[Elecraft] KX1 #01221 Alive but shy of stated power?

[Coote, Jay]

Hi All,
Maybe my emails were not getting through.
R11 and R30 mods in the KX-1 will increase output power but won't do
amything for low transmitter power on 20M (etc).
R11 can be changed to 3.3-5.6 ohms and R30 can be changed to 27-33 Ohms
but do not exceed 33 ohms.  I have this from Elecraft.  After the mod
you may have to back down R4 to keep power output below 4 watts.  The
KX-1 is not designed to take 5 watts

Must be a dark secret, Grif.  Nobody seems to want to tell, apparently
least of all the folks who report having performed the mods!

I'd help if I knew...but I don't have a KX1.

I looked at KX1-related info on the elecraft web site (Tech Notes and
Builder's Resources), but there seems to be *NOTHING* there at all.
Nada.  Zip.  Null.  Zero.  That is most odd, considering that the KX1
has been out for two years.

In contrast, K1 and K2 owners will find a wealth of info there.
