N6VX has my KX1 and has worked 3Y0X on 20.  When he said he wanted to 
try the same on 30,
I informed him my KX1 did not cover 30.  His reply - I've been working 
DX on 30.
Seems he just enabled B30 menu option to see if it would work.  Output 
was 3 watts, same as 40 & 20.
The receiver was not as sensitive but was 'good enough' to work a few DX 
stations.

Without the 30m or 80/30m board you will have low sensitivity and I have 
no idea what the output looks
like on a spectrum analyzer.  I plan to get the 80/30 board as soon as 
it comes out, but in a pinch this just
might work.

If you have a KX1 and the right test equipment, let the list know how 
well this works.
