Introduction
The KXB30 adds 30-meter capability to the Elecraft KX1 transceiver. It also significantly improves
performance in the 49-meter SWL band segment (receive only) by re-resonating the KX1's receive band-
pass filter at about 6.2 MHz when the operator tunes below 6.7 MHz (with 40 meters selected). High-
performance PIN-diode switches are used to minimize insertion loss and ensure good 30-m sensitivity.
With only a dozen or so parts, the KXB30 is easy to build. The module is installed on the top side of the
KX1's main PC board. The KXB30's filters can be aligned from the bottom side of the board through the
access holes labeled 30A and 30B, so the top cover can be installed prior to alignment.
