Congrats, Paul, on getting your K1 working. The K1 is a great little rig and you are sure to have lots of enjoyment with it.
I made mine many years ago (SN No. 01117) and can't remember whether or not I had any problem with L1. The only decision I recall was which capacitor to use for the tuning range. I opted for the one to provide the widest band coverage. I did change the encoder to a better one as the one provided with early K1s was a bit noisy mechanically. Also I carried out the mod to provide a back lit display which was not standard at the time. Have fun! David G4DMP In a recent message, Paul Roche <[email protected]> writes >IT'S ALIVE!!!!
