Thanks Don for the info.
I only bought the 40/20 board with it and I was hoping to get a 80/30
and a 17/15 board for it but I never got around to ordering them before
the radio was discontinued.
I put a spare K2 knob I had, on my K1. I like that knob better, it has
a finger dimple on it. lol

Thom,
I believe Elecraft will continue to support the K1 (and KX1 too) for
as long as possible. Just don't try to order any of the enclosure
parts or the VFO knob. The only other component that I know is not
available would be the wide range blue trimmers on the 4 band board,
and those disappeared a long time ago and caused the 4 band board to
be discontinued.
I have a few of those blue trimmers here "just in case" they are
needed for repair - I think I have the last of them.

Interesting thread.
Yep they are changing.
I bought a K1 kit a few months back and had no problems building it.
I had grand ideas of using it in some portable ops but a recent new
health issue has cancelled that idea.
I listen to it occasionally but I never managed to get the alignment
done on the transmitter.
Maybe some day I will finish it and hopefully all goes well. I also
hope Elecraft continues to support the K1 in case I need help or
maybe a few spare parts.
