K1

[Tom Hall-5]

I've already built a K2 and KX1 and I am quite happy with them. Can someone
give me a perfectly good excuse to build a K1? (...Please:-))

Why do you need an excuse?

Tom,

You 'MUST' have a K1 with a 2 band board to cover 80 meters, and you can put
17 or 15 meters for the other band - or convert it to 160 meters for the
duration of the sunspot lull.  Your KX1 does not cover these bands.

The K2 will stay at home while the KX1 and K1 go on outings with you.
Alternately, order the K1- 4 band board too and plan the K1 for the base
station at camp while the KX1 goes on day hikes with you.

Is that sufficient for an excuse? <G>

73,
Don W3FPR

1.  More convenient to operate than a KX1.
2.  Better CW audio than a K2.
3.  Cute as hell.
4.  You want to build it. You know you do.

How many more reasons do you need?

I have added "Excuses for Buying an Elecraft K1" to my website.  There are 24
reasons or excuses listed at this time.

There is also an updated photo of my shack as of April 2005.

I faced the same issue, and I have resolved it by installing the K1 as a  
mobile unit in my Jeep. It fits perfectly and works like a charm--hence the need  
for three Elecraft radios.

I've built a fully loaded K1.    My excuses for building another one are:

It was fun.
I have a dad, W9LDZ and fathers day is coming.

If it feels good, do it.

Hello,

    I've got a K1 and K2.  This past weekend I spent all my free time
with the K1 on 30 meters and the K2 hunting around 20 and 40 for the
QRPTTF stations.  The K1 got more action for me but of course your
mileage may vary as they say.
