Chris FB on your band collection. While I remember some at ARRL HQ were trading 2-band modules back and forth when the K1 was 'new' -- it wasnt designed for that kinda band changing. If you really want to qrp on 80m, maybe another QRP project is in order. But no kit single banders come to mind that will output 5w. Or if you have a qro rig, crank the power down to qrp. Or explore something homebrew. The K1 does seem like a nifty rig for portable operation, but sounds like you enjoy yours from home.
