[Elecraft] KX1 with 3080 -- first build

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

It all depends on your building confidence level.  If you are quite 
confident in your work and have the ability to merge 2 sets of 
instructions together, then the answer is "yes, do it" - but if this is 
your first time attempting such a shortcut, be careful - once you go 
down that path, there is no looking back and in case of trouble, the 
results can be confusing.

However, if your skills and experience are limited, then the answer is 
"Do it like you are instructed".

If you wish to proceed with the combined changes and minimize removing 
components, Install L6 on the back of the board, do not install C26, 
C27. C1, and L7.  Then do the procedures shown in the KX3080 manual 
through page 7.

When you have checked out the operation of the KX1 on 40 and 20 meters, 
continue with the rest of the KXB3080 instructions.  You will have to 
remove L1 and L2 from the PC board, but that should be a minor 
"inconvenience"

73,
Don W3FPR
