It's a great radio. I built K1 s/n 175 12 years ago and it remains my favorite QRP rig. I hope you installed the LCD back light option. That is so useful that no K1 should be sold without it. It can be a real pain to back fit later into a K1 that has already been built. No K1 should be sold with a two-band filter board either. The four-band board offers, of course, twice the bands. Almost as importantly, it has much sharper filtering for performance that is superior to the two-band model. A four-band board with 15 meters is ideal for the next few years of the solar activity cycle...that's the best QRP band when open. > The K1 is everything I hoped it would be and more. Unfortunately, it is a "mature" product for which it is unlikely that new accessories will ever be introduced...such as high-band four-band filter board for 17/15/12/10m, which would be ideal at this point in solar cycle 24.
