[Elecraft] Tips for new KX1

[Michael Babineau]

John :

As Don, W3FPR says, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and most importantly pay attention to the warnings regarding component height
as it very important.  If you install a component with too much lead length (i.e. sticking up too high above the main board) it may impact the installation
of the KXB3080 or the ATU.  I found that a small 6"  plastic ruler was very helpful during the build to measure component height.

The physical packaging of the KX1 is a marvel .. I am sure that they must have used 3D CAD software to figure this all
out as there are a lot of components on multiple boards packed into a pretty tight space in three dimensions. 

Just take your time, double check you have the right component and location before soldering and you will do fine. 

Best of luck and have fun with the build.
