[Elecraft] Desoldering and installing the KX1 3080 option

[n2htt at optonline.net]

Ken,

Thanks for the advice, Kiesub looks to be the best price around, and they have free ground shipping too! It'll take a few days from Las Vegas to the east coast, but I'd rather spend the money on a few extra tips.

I just placed an order with them. Here's the URL again: http://shop.kiesub.com/Detail.bok?no=8
