Hi David,
I buildt the KX1, tuner and the 30/80m module all at the same time without doing it in stages. I had absolutely no problems and everything works like a charm. I can't think of any particular things to watch out for.
But is is TIGHT!!! Pay a lot of attention to getting the leads as short as possible plus bending components down flat as required.
Best of luck,
Are - LB3SA ex VE3TSZ & VA3ARE

I have purchased a KX1 kit along with the 8030 board and ATU kit. I
want to do initial assembly incorporating the 8030 board (why put
things in just to take them out?) I have built five other single-band
rigs over the years so it's not a skill-testing question, just
wondering if there are any gremlins I can't spot in blending the two
sets of instructions. The ATU appears to be just a matter of pulling
jumpers out of the female sockets to make way for the pins. It's the
business of not installing L1 and L2 off the top and various Cap
changes that makes me ask if it's better to make friends with
desoldering wick instead. Comments?
