[Elecraft] KX1 with 3080 -- first build

[w1pns at comcast.net]

Hi Paul, 


I came to my KX1 after having successfully built several Heathkits back in the day, but nothing in the intervening 25 years. So I counted myself as starting over with the KX1 as my first build. I found it helpful to build the basic radio first, use it for a bit to get the hang of it, then move back to the mod. Yes, you have to unbutton the case again and remove some parts, add some others, and scratch a gap in a circuit board. I wasn't sure I wanted to do that either. But on reflection I found it easier to follow one set of instructions at a time, rather than try to splice one set into another. For me, it kept things clear and direct. I realize your mileage may vary... 


With best regards,
