I used the K1 last night and everything worked fine, but when I got up early this morning, I could not get it on 40 meters. The dial reading for example is 3580. All the other bands work good like 30,20,17 meters. I probably goofed it up myself rather than little gremlins attacking it while

What I found confusing is the lack of Official designation of what constitutes Iambic A or B or in other rigs Iambic 1 or 2. There should be some standardization. With some manufacturers Iambic A is Iambic 2 with another manufacturer and visa versa. Eliminate Iambic 1 or 2 and desiginate it as
