[Elecraft] KX1 and KXB3080 build

[Alexandra Carter]

I'm really close to getting one too, the K2 was just more complicated 
than I wanted to get involved with, but I was walking around Half Moon 
Bay last Sunday and thinking, how nice it would be to sit under a tree 
and make some contacts, on a KX1. That rig had it all, all in one box.

My first KX1 build, I built the tuner and 30m module and then set them 
aside, then built the rig, tested, then added the modules and tested. 
The only hitch in the whole thing was the 30m module, I don't know what 
I did wrong but I put the wrong wire the wrong place somewhere, and 
ended up just removing it and re-installing from scratch. Then the rig 
worked.
