K1 KIT COMMENTS

Jozef Hand-Boniakowski
Thank you all for the help so far.  I just completed the (K1) receiver
and the receiver alignment.  Everything is perfect.  I was just a couple
of KHz off before calibration on each band.  Signals are jumping out of
the receiver on 40 and 30 meters.  The 20 meter band is in fair to poor
shape, but the K1 is receiving fine.  15 is dead.  The concern about the
thin CLEAR plastic covering in the backlight kit was unfounded.  I
removed the clear covering as per the confusing instructions and was
told that this covering was part of the light diffusion system and the
backlighting would be "unbalanced".  The backlighting is perfect.  The
receiver draws 65.5 ma.with the backlighting.  On to the transmitter.  
The K1 is a pleasure and fun to build

73, Jozef
