If you can't find a kit: I modded my K1 to illuminate the LCD back in '03,
before the mod kit was available. It's pretty easy to do (a white sticker, two
leds, and a resistor) and works very well, but it does require a
transreflective LCD in place of the original reflective one supplied back then.
I tried the mod with original LCD and it didn't work IDK if later ones came
standard with the transreflective LCD. If you have or can get a
transreflective LCD, I'd be happy to describe the mod and email some photos
that detail the mod and show the results.

Good evening all,
I’m looking for a LCD backlight kit for the K1. I don’t see it listed on the
Elecraft site anymore and am kicking myself for not picking one up sooner.
If anyone has a kit that is no longer needed, I would be interested. Please
contact me off-list.
