KX1 power mod?

Jeremiah Blasi
Hello all.  I received KX1 SN 1721 several days ago.  As of this evening, I have successfully completed Part 1 - both assembly and testing!  I'm having a lot of fun with it, and looking forward to many fruitful hours of operation.  Anyway, my question: I am building the 80/30 module to install from the beginning.  Should I make the power mod now (it would be a whole lot easier than doing it later), or am I better off leaving it as is until it is completed so I can confirm low power out?

Thanks for the help...I love reading the advice on this reflector!

Wait until you have the KXB3080 option installed and tested.  Then check
with a 12 volt power supply to see if you have 3 watts output on all bands.
If less than 3 watts, install the power mod.

Do not install the power mod if you have at least 3 watts output on all
bands, it may overstress the output components by attempting to increase the
power output.
