Changing the band that is installed

[AF6NI]

I recently purchased a used K1. It came with the original 2 band board - I think set for 40 and 20, and a 4 band board that has 40, 30, 20 and 15. I would really like to get it on 17. Could I rework the 2 band board with components to cover 17? Would they be available from Elecraft?
Thanks

Components for each of the bands available for the two-band board used
to be listed on the order sheet, if I remember correctly, but I don't
see them now.  Write to [hidden email] -- they may be low-enough
volume now that they don't package them up routinely.  But yes,
reworking a board is easy.

Joe,

At the Elecraft website, click on Order, then select the link for Spare
Parts and Mod Kits.  On the page that opens select K1 Parts - you will
see the band module kits, they are $7.50 each.

I would suggest you build that board for 80 and 17 meters, that will
give you a total of 6 bands, and the K1 will remember settings for 6 bands.

73,

Thanks folks, I'll order that 17m Don.
I actually received an uninstalled 80m kit with the purchase, so as you suggested, will make that 2 band board 80 & 17.
