[K1]K1 still a great QRP radio

[Rhulett]

I know the K1 is ancient history, built K1-4 s/n 2258 sometime ago.  Have
worn out and replaced a VFO pot and two headphone jacks.  Even with a K2
sitting on the desk, still very much enjoy using the K1 QRPp either inside
or out on the patio or out in a park.  A classic IMHO, too bad the 4 band
filter board is no longer available.

73, Curt KB5JO

I agree Curt, they are a great radio, fine specs, operate easily, not a lot of fuss at all,
and not a big appetite for battery either.
I understand the 4 band board had to go away because the tuning caps went away....
I'd sure support any effort to correct that, somehow.
Maybe a conversation would be in order......

Have a great day,

I bought and built K1 SN 3353 last week.  I have 30 and 40M on it and having a ball with it.  Very capable little radio!

The older Elecraft radios are great radios, not ancient history.  My K1 s/n
757 has served me well and I am currently building a K2.  I look forward to
using the K2 as my primary low power CW rig in the shack and on some
vacations, but the K1 will not be retired.  The only problem I have ever
had with the K1 involved using the K1's internal keyer and a paddle with
excessive contact bounce.  Maybe I'll post a few words on how I got around
that.  I look forward to enjoying my new K2 just as much as I have enjoyed
my K1.
