Henning:
I have K1 #1423, my only HF rig at this time, 4 bands.
I have always used an external battery, a bit more
bulk but I did not have to disturb the insides of the
K1, or worry about battery leaks.
I first built the K1 using 150KHz range for the
tuning. Tuning was much too difficult to use. Since
then I have adjusted the tuning range several times,
now it is back to about 80 KHz. I miss having a larger
tuning range and I want more bands, a K2 or K3 will
fix that.
Hilsen fra USA.
