I just purchased a nice used K1 with a 40 / 20 meter board in it. I purchased from Elecraft a 4 band module and built it for 40/30/20/15. It works great. I also purchased the parts to rework the 40/20 board into a 40/80 board. My night time bands are usually 80 and 40 and my day time bands are 40/30/20/15. I have a couple of questions.
1. Once I complete the 40/80 board and align it in the receiver, how involved is it to swap the 4 band and the 2 band back and forth? Do you just open the case, pull the tuner, pull the band board, put in the new one, and put everything back in, or do you have to do other steps? 2. Is there any plans to come up with a 5 band module that would allow the k1 to have 80/40/30/20/15, or even a four band that could include 80 as one of the bands? Having to swap a board to get 80 is the only fault I can find with the K1. Now that the KX1 is soon to have 80 could we maybe get the k1 on the list to have 80 with 3 other bands as well?
