[Elecraft] Yet another KX-1 Question

[Glen Johnstone]

Dan,
   
  I agree on the receiver sensitivity.  I aligned my 2 band KX-1 with a -103 dBm signal.  When I used a -73 dBm signal (standard S9), I got 4-5 bars on the S-meter for 40 and 20.  Perfect!
   
  After building and installing the KXB3080 and doing all the RX alignments, I find the -73 dBm signal barely lights 2 bars on 20.  Hmmm.

  I expect the KX1 20m circuitry was compromised to pull it down to 80m.
   
  Just thought I'd share.  73,
  Glen, NK1N
  K1 #2144
  KX1 #1516

  I've been following the discussion on low power output from the KX-1 
with interest. My problem is a little different, though. With a 12V 
gel cell, mine outputs 3.5 - 4 W on 40m, but I'm getting a watt or 
less out on 20m. Receiver sensitivity seems lower, too. I've tried 
readjusting the trimmers, but that didn't seem to help much.

73!
