It's a great radio. I built K1 s/n 175 12 years ago and it remains my
favorite QRP rig.
I hope you installed the LCD back light option. That is so useful that
no K1 should be sold without it. It can be a real pain to back fit
later into a K1 that has already been built.
No K1 should be sold with a two-band filter board either. The four-band
board offers, of course, twice the bands. Almost as importantly, it has much
sharper filtering for performance that is superior to the two-band model.
A four-band board with 15 meters is ideal for the next few years of the
solar activity cycle...that's the best QRP band when open.

Unfortunately, it is a "mature" product for which it is unlikely that new
accessories will ever be introduced...such as high-band four-band filter
board for 17/15/12/10m, which would be ideal at this point in solar cycle 24.
