You have convinced me to stick with the official plan. At first I thought I might take the suggestion about installing L6 on the opposite side of the board, but I see that it's too late. I'm already a page past L6 in the assembly steps!
Thank you to all who responded. 73, Steve ----- Original Message ---- From: Koaps <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 10:32:14 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Building KX1 with KXB3080 i just finished my KX1 and like the manual suggested, I plan on getting used to the radio stock before adding even the KAT1 or the 3080 module, even though I have both sitting in a bag at home right now. The only thing I did different from the manual was like what Don suggested about L6. I mounted it on the opposite side of the board to save me the trouble or doing it later. I just need to cut the trace and that step is done. -C --- Don Wilhelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve, > > The *only* step I would recommend in preparation for > the KXB3080 > installation is to mount L6 on the bottom side of > the board. > > Certainly you *can* leave out the other components, > but then the KX1 > cannot be tested until you complete the KXB3080 > install.
