KX1 #1116 lives!

[dmaliniak]

I read the list avidly but post very rarely. I had to post, though, to
announce the birth of KX1 #1116. The basic rig is completed and in fine
working condition. All options are on the bench and waiting for solder.

I haven't had the opportunity to make a maiden contact yet but I'm seeing
a little more than 3 W at 14.100 MHz and a little more than 4 W at 7.100
MHz on a dummy load running from 13.8 V.

The only thing I notice is that receive sensitivity seems a little lower
on 20 meters than on 40, although that could have more to do with the
antenna I was using than the rig. It was a full-wave 40-meter loop plugged
straight into the rig, i.e. no ATU.

Once again, I thank everyone at Elecraft for a fine product and an
enjoyable building experience!

David,

Great job!

I have my KX1 (#1125) currently under construction, and I hope to finish the
basic build this weekend.  I am presently finishing up the receiver
assembly.

Good DX to you with your new rig.

Matt - K7OE
