John,

Those are excellent quality construction photos.  Thanks for posting them!

I was hoping to see a close-up of C56, which has no solder pads and is instead soldered directly to pins 2 and 3 of K1.  Can you (or anyone else) suggest how to accomplish this step?  Is this where hemostats (which I haven't yet acquired) might come in handy?

Steve

Subject: KX1 build photos

Steve (and others),
Here are some photos of my KX1 build from this spring. I have yet to add 
the 30m/80m mod, but hope to get on with it this month.

(This is a link to a collection of amateur radio photos of mine, but it 
is easy to find the KX1 photo sets.)

Like others have suggested, I decided to install L6 on the bottom side 
of the board (and there is a photo of that).

My major problem during the build was in winding T1. Don't let those 
wires cross each other! :)

Good luck and have fun! It will go quicker than you anticipate (most 
likely).
