Ahh ... very good point, Bob!  I forgot that. I assume crystals can still be had from somewhere, though.  I wonder if Elecraft kept their old stock of them. I'm copying the list on your reply since it was someone else who needed a new board, not me. 73, Dave   AB7E On 6/10/2019 11:09

Unless I am mistaken (entirely possible),  all of the K1 band filter boards were essentially the same except for the coils.  I'd bet that there are several unused two band K1 filter boards out there ... the result of owners upgrading to the four band module.  For example, I have an extra 40m/

What you propose will very likely not be possible. Elecraft has always been very "outside the norm" for contemporary QRP kit makers in NEVER providing PCB trace info for the kits that it sold. It is deliberate company policy. I could have used such info a number of times after I built an early

Apologies in advance if this has been answered before. I can’t find it in the mailing list archives although surely it has come up already. I have recently realized that I “need” a 30 + 17 meter band filter board for my 40 + 20 K1. Obviously I have had 15+ years to make this realization, but I’m
