RE:KX-1 sudden decrease in power

Paul E. Picking
When I installed 30m module i had exactly same syptoms as you describe. Found that longest bare jumper on 30 meter module was contacting a pin on board near TX section close to where it was soldered onto board. Maybe yours got jarred or pressed down in that area some how.

"When I was getting ready to check into Elecraft CW Net last night I hit the buttons to let the ATU do a quick check of the antenna and was stunned to see that the output power was only half a watt, even with the external 12V gel cell. Other observations:
- on my most recent trip I was getting 3 - 4 W
 - problem exists on all three bands
- external meter agrees"
