KX1 Builder's Alert

Gary-5
Howdy,

        I am adding the 30/80 board to a an older KX-1 and I need a copy of "KX1 Builder's Alert, Modifying Final Amplifier Choke L3" for instructions on how it should be re-wound.

        It's probably right in front of me, but I am not seeing it on the Elecraft web site and Google just points me to the 3080 instructions which I already have.

Thanks and 73,
Gary kk0sd

Gary,

I think that Builder's Alert disappeared some time ago.
It is easy, just remove L3 and remove the turns and rewind it like any
other toroid with 18 turns.  12 inches of red #26 wire will do it.
Wind in the same direction as the other toroids - if you wind it in the
wrong direction, the core will want to sit sideways and interfere with
the installation of the KXAT1.

If you have firmware 1.01 installed in that older KX1, you will need KX1
Firmware 1.02.  That should be provided at no cost - tell the sales
office that you purchased the KXB3080 option and need the firmware.  I
believe that policy is still in place.

73,
Don W3FPR
