[Elecraft] KX1, Removing Underside of Board

[Don Wilhelm]

Cliff,

The KX1 has no fuses inside, one should always fuse the power cord.

The board removes quite easily, but yes, the paddle jack does catch a 
bit on one side of the enclosure top.
Just grasp the paddle jack and pull that side of the board out of the 
enclosure first, the rest will follow.  You can exert a bit of pressure 
on the enclosure sides to spread it apart a bit, it will spring right 
back after the pressure is released.

No need to remove the standoffs as another poster suggested.

73,
