[Elecraft] KX1 Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Tony,

I would recommend you build the KX1 with the original value resistors.
If you cannot achieve 3.5 watts output with a 13.8 volt power source, 
then change the resistors.
Check the power level again after installing the KXB3080 option.

If you will always operate the KX1 from batteries or a power source with 
a voltage lower than 13.8v, you can install the power mod resistors at 
the start.
It is not good for the KX1 Low Pass Filter components to run it above 5 
watts.

73,

I presume I fit these parts as described in Assembly Part III rather than using the originsl 10 and 20ohm resistors mentioned in the manual?    I also have the KXB3080.  Is there any benefit fitting this as part of the main construction or am I best to leave this and get 20m and 40m bands working first?
