K1 s/n 1031 has new home

[Petr Ouředník]

Dears,

I am happy to throw up that K1-4 s/n 1031 has the new home in Czech Republic. Little baby arrived safely today morning and should be QRV 40/30/20/15m including the KAT1 and KNB1.

Also I would like to many thanks to all who sent me info how to build the 160m band module specially to Don for complete instructions. I will try to make it asap to be able to work on my lovely TOP band soon.

The most interesting idea now for me is how to implement another 2-bands nor 4-bands module permanently > means to not need swapping the boards when will decide for other bands. I am totally confused with the band management in K1 but what could be the problem except the enough place inside? Does anybody thought about that please?

I will be happy to make QSO with other "K-syndrom" infected folks.

72,

Would be a bit of a problem switching between the 2 band board and the 4 band board.  Space is
somewhat at a premium inside the K1, especially if you have an autotuner (KAT1) installed.
These two boards
are piggy-backed above the main PCB.  Could possibly be done with some very custom switching boards
maybe installed on top cover.  Interconnect would probably have to be via ribbon cables from 2 and 4
band PCB's to "switching board"".  Also comes the problem of activating the actual switching
process.
Incorporate it into CPU chip?  Just add a seperate 2/4 band pcb switch on rear apron somewhere?
Even with this, each time it is "switched", you would have to "reassign" bands again to bands 1 and
2.
It would be "nice" not to have to swap "band" boards but I'll bet the "mod" would be quite involved.
