I agree. The KNB1 is very modest in price. When someday the K1 is discontinued, it may not be available for back-fit to older units. If you don't buy the KNB1, you won't have the connector that installs on the K1 RF PCB. In that case, you'd be wise to only tack in RF-C22 *away* from the holes for the KNB1 connector, so you don't risk damaging any traces if later you get the KNB1 and then must remove C22 to install the connector. I have not often needed the KNB1 in the eleven years I've had the K1, but when it has been needed (I operate portable a lot), it's been well worth the price. For a couple of years in my neighborhood, an odd digital-like noise was continuous on 20m and 15m. The KNB1 on HIGH threshold made it vanish. The more extreme LOW threshold is, as one would expect, more troublesome from an IMD and dynamic blocking range performance aspect, so I've never used the LOW threshold setting. 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
