I have a used K1-2 on the way, my first Elecraft rig, that is
currently configured for 40/20. Although two of these are my favorite
bands, a couple are missing and I'm having a tough time deciding what
to put under the hood as standard. At home, my single antenna is
optimized for 80M 40M and

From what I have read in the archives, you can put 80M on a 4-band
module but, because of component sharing, you'd loose the 4th band and

Possible band combos on KFL1-4:
40-m, 30-m, 20-m, 17-m
40-m, 30-m, 20-m, 15-m
Add the following: 40m, 30m, 17m, 15m.
30-m, 20-m, 17-m, 15-m
80-m, 30-m, 20-m
I don't think those two are good combos without some filter redesign to allow
20m and 30m to share the same low pass filter

Yea, I hear you. You'd think 20 meters is the band nobody would skip
but, I find I use other bands more. 20 Meters is where the big guns
seem to
It's all smoke and mirrors.
Don't believe that myth about 20 meters for big guns.
We QRP'ers have equal share of the fun!
Their sigs and ours is fair game because propagation is King.
I've heard QRO stations in the noise too. Amazing!
see you on the airwaves!

Not really, but I am trying to avoid the big contests when all the
kilowatt klowns come out of the woodwork. I love the QRP contests and
various QRP fox hunts.
Mike, thanks for the comments. But I am still a bit confused.
Would an 80/40/30 combo work on a KFL1-4 board?
Thanks

Another option I am thinking about is multiple 2-band boards. Keep
the 40/20 and add a 40/30 and an 80/40. This way, I will have my
primary band, 40M, available at all times and switch in 20, 30, or 80
as the need or propogation warrants.

You could build a KFL1-4 board mostly normally per directions, with band 1
being 40m and band 2 being 30m, and both using the current LP and bandpass
filter designs. After that, you could build band 3 as an 80m band, using the

The downside to having the same band, in this case 40m, on multiple filter
boards, is that only ONE frequency display calibration factor per each HF ham
band can stored by the

Sheesh, I can't win for losing on this. Heh.
