[Elecraft] KX1 build with 8030 mod

[Are LB3SA]

Hi David,

I buildt the KX1, tuner and the 30/80m module all at the same time without
doing it in stages. I had absolutely no problems and everything works like a
charm. I can't think of any particular things to watch  out for.

But is is TIGHT!!! Pay a lot of attention to getting the leads as short as
possible plus bending components down flat as required.

Best of luck,
Are - LB3SA   ex VE3TSZ & VA3ARE
