[Elecraft] KX1 hearing mirror image cw on every band

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Nick,

Because of its small size, the KX1 uses a 3-pole crystal filter. This  
filter's opposite sideband suppression could probably be improved with  
larger capacitors and an impedance change at either or both ends, but  
this would come at the expense of SSB/AM reception.
