[Elecraft] Closing the Loop on My Killed KX1

[engineercm]

Hi, Don.

You may recall a couple of months ago I killed my KX1 by dropping a hot
lead on the bare board. You suggested replacing the MPU and the first mixer
NE602.  I'm happy to report the rig has been resurrected and is working
fine. Removing and cleaning the solder pads for the NE602 was not easy.  I
have not yet mastered the art of using soldering wick to remove solder from
inside the hole.

I'm getting 2.8w on 20//30/40 with 12.5 volt battery.  I have the 30m
option, not the 3080 option.  Would the Power Option swap of two resistors
be recommended for the 30m board?  I'm really not that excited about
removing any more parts and cleaning soldering holes!  If I got .5w, it
hardly seems worth it.

I'm going to FDIM this year and hope to celebrate the 4 days in may
anniversary.  Hope to see you there.
