I've owned my K1-4 ( 40,30,20,15 ) for about two years. Enjoyed building it
and have had a lot of fun using it. Added the internal tuner, a visual
tuning aid and the tilt stand shortly after completing it. Use it with a
8AA battery and an end-fed wire for park bench portable in a local
I recently received my first Elecraft kit a K1.
I don't see any postings relating to this rig.
Every posting seems to be about the new K3 and sometimes the K2.
Someone must be still interested in the K1 out there.
Are there any comments on this radio . for instance; how was it to build,

Please tell me something about your experience with your K1.
Congrats on the new kit you'll love building and operating
Hello Bud!
The K1 has been around for a while so there's not as many questions being
asked as there are about the K3.
The K1 is a great little radio! It's designed for small size and low current
drain. Still I really like the receiver, especially the continuously
adjustable I.F. filter that is
Yes, the K1 is a very sweet rig. The audio is especially nice, although
you'll have some popping on loud signals.
I enjoyed mine. Sold it to upgrade to the K2. I've been planning to
buy another K1 one of these days.

Whups, Bud. I mixed up a K1 and KX1. I was talking about the KX1.
Time for another cuppa coffee and get my brain back in gear.
I don't have a K1, but there are a LOT of K1 owners on the list who will be
happy to offer suggestions and talk about their experiences.
One friend of mine put a K1

Hi Bud,
I think that you will really enjoy both building and using your K1. I have
a 4-band K1 (40, 30, 20, 15) and I actually use it as my main station rig.
(I have a KX-1 for portable operations). It's a great little radio. Not
too hard to build and the learning curve for using all of
Hi, Bud,
The K1 was my first Elecraft kit as well. In fact, it was the first kit I
had built in over 20 years.
The step-by-step instructions are simple, elegant, and effective. I did not
have a single problem putting the kit together and had fun doing it. Tuning
and adjustment were a breeze.
I love my K1. Was a kick in the pants to build. I found that using
emery cloth to strip the insulation off the torroids was a help as it
allowed me to get things very clean with out doing the heat strip method
which didn't work too well for me. I've made quite a few contacts using
a fanned
