Interesting... the bandpass filter trimmers in my latest K2 have changed, IMO, for the slightly worse in terms of quality. My first K2 (#6882 ) has nice well made looking trimmer caps in it, but 4 of the ones in the new kit are these barrel shaped ones that are kind of blah in terms of quality, and a little dodgier to get a screwdriver into.
So maybe there are supply issues already affecting the K2 also? But that's one of the reasons I went ahead and got another kit. I like my first K2 so much I wanted to build another one. I thought about a K1 while making the decision but without the 4-band model being available, went ahead with another K2. I'm at the grounding crystal cans step right now in fact and taking a break. This is the ugliest part of the build and fortunately it's downhill after this part. Winding toroids is no problem compared to this lol... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K1-still-a-classic-tp7615852p7615932.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
