Jim,
since you had a K1 in the past, you probably remember this, but others may
not be aware... You cannot "swap out the ATU for the 2 band board". The ATU
does need to be removed to replace the 4 band board with the 2 band board as
the band board sits below the ATU in a "stacked" configuration". But- both
band boards cannot be in at the same time.

As I say, I am pretty sure you know this, but wanted to mention it for the
benefit of others who may not know.

72,
Bruce N1RX

I think so... (a dream). I have a K1 now, and have had a few of them in the
past. There can only be 1 band board in at a time, although the K1 will
remember the VFO calibration for all the bands, across the boards you have.
The only time this is an issue is if you have two different modules with the
same band, like 40/30/20/15 on a 4 band board, and 40/17 on a 2 band board.

GL,
Bruce N1RX

 Bruce: don't consider this the beginning of an argument but.....I recall
having both modules installed, at the same time, in my previous K1......was
I dreaming that??
