Can I humbly suggest looking at the excellent offerings from Hans Summers and qrp-labs. The QCX and the upcoming QSX fit the bill. The QCX i dare say, is hands down the best kit, with the exemplary documentation and support both from the community and Hans himself. It bests even Heathkit of yesterday, and may match performance you would expect from a K1.
http://qrp-labs.com/qcx.html <http://qrp-labs.com/qcx.html> All the kits from qrp-labs are thru-hole with the surface mounted components pre-mounted on the pcb. As the license manual says I have no "pecuniary interest” in qrp-labs, just a enthusiastic customer. 73 de kc1ccr bammi > > While I appreciate the sentiments, I don't think we'd want to authorize a > clone of the K1.
