Hey Chris, let me say that this si one of the best and more useful videos i seen on youtube on how to assembly an electronic part.Not only because is interesting see how to assembly an elecraft T1 but also because you show many soldier techniques that many other videos takes for granted or leaves out BUT, for many peoples (like me) looks at how to soldier on a PCB is a great help. With this video you teach me many things ! Thank you very much !
It's been a while since I thought about my soldering methodology being aviation grade MIL-STD but this did, I use flux and pre-tin and pre-bend all components religiously lol. Anyway, thanks for this, I wasn't sure wether to get the kit or ready, but I will get the kit and do some small mods to it straight up, lacquer the toroids and use some conformal coating on a fair bit of the board.
ROFL... Used to work in an industry where that was common practice (not mil) but can't say I've ever thought about it for ham stuff. Good quality fine flux-cored solder and I'm good to go. :-)
nr3rful don't you technically have the risk of blowing finals on almost any radio using any tuner? I'll be running my 817 with an amp to get 10w and protect the finals anyway before I get the T1, the amp is sacrificial in case anything goes wrong, tuning or too much duty cycle with data.

Excellent walk through. I wish there were more with your level of detail. Thanks!

Great presentation Chris,yes we hate that radar,,,73 de ZL1PO
Brilliant. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.
Great video thank you by 73 Elan
Nice job Chris, I built the T1 a few years ago have uploaded pictures onto flickr.com

This is not a good tuner for the 817. Takes to long to tune and you have the possibility of blowing finals
