Re: [Elecraft] K1 Frequency range.

You will want the wider range. It will cover the freqs you want on 40m and also allow you to get to WWV on 30m. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K1-Frequency-range-tp7560793p7560878.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Elecraft] Question on K1 build - internal or external tuner?

I just finished my K1 about a month ago. The back light is a great option and I built mine with it. I've had a couple of K1s that I purchased used that did not have a back light and they were impossible to read in dim light. I have the T1 tuner and love it with the K1. I also have a KX1 and have
