were not trimmed earlier.

This completes assembly of your KX1 Transceiver. You should have
a number of washers, screws, and other hardware left over. These
items have been provided as spares. Please read the Operation section,
which follows, and try each of the KX1's features. If you're new to
QRP, be sure to read the QRP Operating Tips section (page 70).

If you have purchased KX1 internal options, do not install

them until becoming familiar with basic KX1 operation. Options
can be installed in any order. (All KX1 options are described on
page 71.)
