I don't have any recommendations for this, but I would like to see a final K1 product be a KFL1-4 four-band filter board for 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m. These bands are certainly possible on a KFL1-4, since 17m/15m and 12m/10m have the appropriate relationships to easily operate below the rolloff of the basic elliptical filter design used in the KFL1-4. Such a board, plus the necessary K1 circuit modifications for adequate performance up to 10m, would be a real plus as the sunspot cycle climbs for the next five years. I don't really expect to see this ever offered...the last K1-specific product was introduced more than ten years ago. But such a product would seem to be relatively easy for Elecraft to produce, and a natural winner as these bands roar back. The KX1 can never cover **any** of these fantastic QRP bands...but the K1 could cover all four on one filter board. A backpack trip with the K1 and an easily erected 26-foot dipole segmented to cover all four bands would be a real joy, at least until it got too dark. It's something I'd buy even if I had a KX3, and especially if I had a KX1 (but I'd need a K1 and the new board). I can wish. 73, Mike / KK5F ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
