I contacted Elecraft parts who sent me two 22MHZ xtals right away
Plugged one into the KFL1-4.
All is now right with the world.
Thanks guys.
There is just something perfect about the K1
on a whole bunch of levels. I enjoyed building it.
I like operating it. I really like the keyer.
I even enjoy working on it.
Great work Elecraft.
