My K1 originally had the KBT1. I fitted a small two pin Molex plug/socket to the cable on the battery box to allow it to be removed easily. Ultimately, I went back to the standard cover, as the loudspeaker in the battery box cover didn't have enough "oomph", and the batteries were a royal pain in the arse to remove charge and reinstall. It was the only addition to the K1 I didn't like very much. 73, Sandy W5TVW K1 #1178 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Babineau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 11:48 AM Subject: [Elecraft] K1 KBT1 option question
