Whoops! I meant KBT1 internal battery, not KNB1 noise blanker. Although the KNB1 doesn't do much for the noise I've encountered, there's no point to pulling it out of the K1. The KBT1 would be much more useful if it were easily installed/removed through the use of a polarized two-pin connector mounted *on* the RF board, instead of the soldered wire connections in the current design or the floating connectors that some have installed. I definitely don't want the KBT1 residing permanently in my K1, but it would be handy to have every once in a while. For my purposes, the most useful accessoies to a four-band K1 are in order: KAT1 antenna tuner (a MUST HAVE item) KFL1-2 two-band board for the remaining two official K1 HF bands KNB1 noise blanker (distant third) KTS1 stand (distant fourth) KBT1 internal battery (distant fifth, because it lacks quick connect capability). If I had only a two-band K1, the first priority would be to get a four-band KFL1-4. 73, Mike / KK5F _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
