[Elecraft] KX1 - S/N 2543 Build Update

[Bruce Beford]

Hi Ken. Glad you are having fun with the KX1 build. I'll let someone else
comment on your first question, but as to the second: In the latest assembly
instructions for the KX1, on page 34- the instructions for C56 -do- have you
cut the relay pins before adding C56 and soldering. You do this at this
stage because the area is very crowded with parts added later, and would be
difficult to access.

Have fun!
Bruce, N1RX
