Speaking of Steve KD1JV - he just announced an upcoming ("sometime before
Christmas") new kit today. In a departure from his usual CW kits this one will
be for SSB/digital modes.

When the US Military determines that a system is going out of
production, the Logistics folks do a "Lifetime Buy" of all the parts the
system will likely need for the rest of it's life. You could do that. [:-)

I ordered a replacement K1 VFO knob the other day. Got a shipping notice, so I
assume they are still in stock.

Thom,
I don't know how many band boards they may have in stock. If there are
any, they are available for purchase. Also band kits if you want to
change the bands on an existing 2 band board.
Contact Elecraft and ask.

Thanks Don for the info.
I only bought the 40/20 board with it and I was hoping to get a 80/30
and a 17/15 board for it but I never got around to ordering them before
the radio was discontinued.
I put a spare K2 knob I had, on my K1. I like that knob better, it has
a finger dimple on it.
Thom,
I believe Elecraft will continue to support the K1 (and KX1 too) for as

the VFO knob. The only other component that I know is not available
would be the wide range blue trimmers on the 4 band board, and those

Interesting thread.
Yep they are changing.
I bought a K1 kit a few months back and had no problems building it. I
had grand ideas of using it in some portable ops but a recent new health
issue has cancelled that idea.
I listen to it occasionally but I never managed to get the alignment

Dave and all,
While Steve Weber and Hans Summer do really good work and well thought
out designs, I see only one problem with the stuff they do - the kits
are available only for a limited time.
That is in contrast with the work Dave Benson did for the hobby.
I understand that they (or at leas
Hi All,
I also have a couple of the QCX kits here waiting to be assembled. The only
thing slowing me down is that I’m trying to recover from a very bad cold, and
my eyes aren’t all that clear! This is a fascinating rig design, and has an
incredible cost/feature ratio.
As to whether or not “t
No doubt, small, single-band QRP kits are a bunch of fun. (I still think
Dave Benson's Small Wonder Labs DSW-II is still one of the most innovative
designs - I have two.)
That said, they are no match for the K1 (or K2 now) when it comes to having
a "real radio."

I ordered a QCX too, it seems like it will be a good fun kit to build and
use.
I just got my "it shipped" e-mail this morning ... I was beginning to
wonder!

Hi Ho All,
Absolutely no disrespect here, I am an extremely loyal and prolific
Elecraft user/builder.
The KX1 and K1 are gone and the KPA 1500 is ascending.
I have ordered a QRP Labs QCX, a very innovative and kit oriented radio.
The mantle at the lower end has moved on.
Cheers,
