[Elecraft] L3 mod done, no problem

[Paul Webb]

Hi Gang
Just done the L3 mod to my KX1 with the 8030 module fitted, I tried the
radio before the mod and L3 did get warm with key down for a few seconds
(about 5-10 secs), it=92s a easy mod and didn=92t take long to do, =
afterwards I
did the same test with the new L3 and I can confirm that it certainly =
runs
much cooler, after about 10 secs key down I could just tell that the =
core
was slightly warmer than it was when I was in RX mode so I guess =
that=92s
fixed it!.
I checked the power output levels before and after the mod and all =
seemed ok
I seemed to have dropped about 100mW or so on 80m but gained a couple of
hundred millwatts on other bands , in the real world the power remained
about the same , between 3 and 4 watts on all bands. So im a happy chap.
That=92s the lid put back on the KX1 ,never to be removed again (Hi) =
well not
till the SSB Module comes out! (Don=92t Panic Wayne, only kidding)
