Doug,
I think you would be happy with the K1.
I am using K1 number 583 which I built and have completed DXCC on 40 meters
with a vertical antenna. Originally the K1 was two bands only but I bought the
four band board when it was released. The only other addition was the noise
blanker which
KB5JO's comments about his K1 are certainly relevant in my view. This
little gem of a rig doesn't get all that much attention these days, but it
is still deserving of such.
I still have my K1, a fairly early one, and I must admit that, at first, I
wasn't as happy with it as I thought I would
The K1 (and KX1) definietely have not taken a back seat to our other radios.
:-) Even the K2 is still selling well after the introduction of the K3.
We are still selling a good number of these each month. These are unique and
timeless designs that have a lot of appeal.

Eric,
You're selling them because I am buying them. I have the K3, P3, KX1 and a few
of the min-kit things. My next is the K1 and then the KX3 if it is out by
then. Oh, I plan on the KPA500 this Fall sometime so make sure you make one
extra kit for me and the KAT500 of course when it is

I built, in order: K2, KX1, K3, KPA500. I use my K2 on field events
such as SOTA activations and QRP contests. Earlier this year [on Field
Day], Rich NU6T and I activated SOTA W6/SN-039
Hear Hear! I love my K1! It has the seat of honor in the top pouch
of my backpack and is my travel rig of choice! The K3 is the centerpiece
of the shack, and the K2 lives in the bedroom when not contesting in the
field. If I lost my K1, I'd buy and build another in a heart beat!

My eleven-year-old K1 SN 175 is still my favorite QRP rig,
including service as a backpack rig.
For anyone considering the purchase of a new K1, there is one
absolutely most-important decision to make: Order the LCD
backlight! Even better would be for Elecraft to raise the K1
price a little and
You can take my K1 when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

I hope to have a KX3 someday, but nothing would ever make me
get rid of my K1 except the eternal dirt nap. :-) [That would
make a great advertising quote from a satisfied customer.]

Since 'Men In Black', we have to be more careful about that line:

My XYL has been instructed to place my K1 in the box with me.
Some time back, I made a video comparing the same signal from the same
antenna as heard on all four of my Elecraft products. It was just a
casual video. Nothing technical. I've gotten a surprising number of
hits. It's a nine
Phil,
I am semi-retired, used to be fully back in 2001, pre-911. I totally agree
with your sentiments. I have built the K2 and all add0ns but the amp. I
built the Kx1 and all add-ons. I have owned the K1 and all add-ons. I have
several smaller kits, including the W1 and W2 watt meters. All I
All my equipment is supposed to go to the grave with me. I have
