Bummer -- and Lisa's exact words from that link
were more definite and final:
/The 4-band board was discontinued due to a part
availability issue that was crucial to the
functionality of the KF1-4. So no, it will not be
coming back sorry to say./
The 4-band K1 is a really nice, small QRP radio --
with 5 Watts. Definitely a better CW receiver than
the KX1 (4-pole filter, plenty of audio, etc.) and
a more capable transmitter. Of course, not the
freq coverage of the KX1 and not as tiny or trail
friendly, but a very nice rig.
If I had to sell my KX1 or my K1 it would be the
KX1. My K1 would make a capable 40-30-20-15 qrp CW
based station, particularly after adding one of my
audio filters. KX3 is, of course, a far better
option and I have one; but it is larger and much
more expensive -- plus it's not a melt solder and
wind toroid kit.
