Hi Larry,
I went with the 150kHz option, personally. I'm not very good at CW,
and was more interested in having the extra tuning range so I could
tune around and listen. The 80kHz does give you finer-tuning on the
dial but personally I'd rather have the wider range. I find it just
takes a careful gentle touch on the dial, but it is not hard to tune
very precisely even with the 150kHz option.
I think it's really a matter of personal preference. Of course, the
great thing is you can build for either option, and if you don't like
it, you can always go back and change it later!

I am building the K1 with the 4 band filter board. I am at the step
where I must decide which VFO range to choose, 150 kHz or 80 kHz. I
am new to HF and don't have the experience to make an educated
choice here. I would like to hear from those who have built this
receiver and why they made the choice they did.
I have tried searching the archives but for some reason I am not
getting any hits.
Thanks for your replies,
Larry
