Jon: I used my K1 using 80 KHz for a few years and then wanted to work higher in the bands so I changed it to 150 KHz. I enjoyed a few QSOs between 7100 and 7145 KHz. After a few weeks I went back to 80 KHz. It just tunes too fast.
Most of my QSOs were made between 7025 and 7065 on 40M 30M is a good band also. 20M is also good between 14025 and 14065 KHz I made a few QSOs on 17M. Since I have changed the 17M to 15M I have heard a few sigs there but not QSO. I have K1 # 1423 since 2003. I had it set up for 40, 30, 20 and 17 M. With a 88' dipole at 35' , fed with ladder line. This is a great rig, I will continue to use and enjoy it. I am waiting for my K3. I want more bands and SSB. Good luck. 73, TY, W1TF at about 35' --- Jon Perelstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would appreciate peoples' thoughts, suggestions, > experiences setting the VFO range at 80KHz vs. > 150KHz on a K-1. > > I've got a dual-bander running 40 meters and 20 > meters.
