[Elecraft] Another K1 10 meter project

Hi Bill,

I found that jumpering the BPF or even the LPF when testing, gave me  
results similar to what you are seeing.  I didn't start to see useful  
results until I had all the parts for all three filter sections  
completed.  Do you have the LPF set up completely?

I'm not in a position at the moment to test my K1 with a RF probe,  
too many other projects on the workbench right now so I can't compare  
the values along the TX path with what you are seeing.

There's one other thing...

I was looking at some digital photos I took of my K1 RF board and it  
looks like I removed R31 and R32 (they are in parallel with each  
other and sit between the Driver output / PA input and ground - see  
pp.79 in the K1 manual) but I don't have anything in my notes about  
it.  I don't remember removing them, but I know I had a few late  
nights where I was trying everything I could think of, to get the 10M  
board to work.  I thought maybe I had moved them to the bottom of the  
RF board, and/or replaced them with another value of resistor, but I  
just had a quick look at the bottom of the RF board and found that  
R31 and R32 are in fact missing.

I apologize for the mistake / omission in the information I posted.
