Dear all, I am the proud owner of K1 serial #2002. I just got it going at the first of the week. My 1st kit was a Globe Scout 680A in the summer of 1959 at age 15. For the first time in many years I have that "ole feeling" again.
The K1 is a superior transceiver, with EXCELLENT technical support, it is made in America, and the price is cost effective. How could you come up with a better combination? I first built a solid state 40 meter cw transceiver in 1976 (along with a 50 watt amplifier using an MRF-449). It was the Ultra Mountaineer by W7BBX. Of course technology has advanced a long way since then. I can honestly say that the K-1 favorably compares with my Ten-Tec Orion performance wise!! I'm referring to the basic attributes of a good receiver. We desperately needed a company like Elecraft to fill in the void left by Heathkit. It has really advanced the hobby...... 73 es best regards, John Harden, W4NU Atlanta (K4JAG 1959 to 1998) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
