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.

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, | | OK1RP | Petr Ouředník | 00420608230010 (private) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.qsl.net/ok1rp | | K1 #1031 (40-15m) | SW20+ | _______________________________________________ | Elecraft mailing list | Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net | You must be a subscriber to post to the list. | Subscriber Info (Addr.
