K1 Fanatics, The K1 can apparently be set to have a band spread of 80 kHz or 150. Can this choice be easily reversed if I wanted to see (aka "experience") the difference in operation? Secondly, as the tuning rate increases with the wider band spread, can that be tamed by going to a different VFO encoder or variable pot ? Finally, does anyone know if the Cumbria Designs X-Lock VFO stabilizer would help the 150 kHz option ? ... or is that irrelevant? Feel free to reply in private as I am on Digest Mode. Thank you, Doug W5JV

I got it now: the back light is a separate unit all by itself and not part of the LCD. I was under the mistaken assumption that there were two LCD units and one was backlit. My mistake. I appreciate your taking time to answer this dumb question. I didn't know.

Here is the link to purchase the LCD backlight, separately. http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#K1%20Parts The instructions will show you how to add the backlight to the LCD which comes with the K1. 73, On 10/1/2015 4:46 PM, Lisa Jones wrote: [email protected] -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: K1 Order Page questions Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 18:20:09 -0500 From: Doug Hensley <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Hello, Does a new K1 kit come with the backlight LCD or must that be ordered in addition to the K1? And does that mean the buyer ends up with a spare non-back lit LCD ?
