KTS1 Tilt Stand for K1

[Jim Ragsdale]

Does Elecraft still sell the KTS1 tilt stand for the K1? If not, does
anyone know of an alternative?

The KTS1 has been discontinued for many years.

I found it to be a grossly over-engineered and complex solution to what most owners likely would have preferred...just some sort of simple bale that remained attached and could be folded down in two seconds to prop up the front.

There were a couple of simple third-party alternatives available 15 years ago.  All development of new K1 features and options ceased by 2002.

      Try LapWorks Laptop Legs.  The grey ones (if you can find them) are
almost an exact color match.

      They can be configured for three different heights (flat, low, high),
and the flat setting is, for all intents and purposes, a height match to
the stock rubber feet :).

Hello Jim,

There is an alternative on the website of KR1ST.

<www.kr1st.com/ft817stand.htm>

It's designed for a FT-817, but also usable for all small transceivers.
