Hi Bruce:
1. Has anyone come up with a good RF gain control, aka AGC threshold control?
Please, no lectures about how the K1 doesn't need it, or how the RF
attenuator works great.
2. In searching the archives, I found hundreds of posts about the RIT range.
Too many to sort through. Is the mod

I like the 150 kHz range on 30m for having WWV and on 20m (and 15m to some
extent) for big DX contests. While the tuning may be somewhat sensitive, it
is not difficult to control with a gentle touch. If you tend to stick close
to the QRP frequencies (or the core areas of each band) and don't need
I soldered a 10K resistor across the RIT pot and magically cut the range in
half. It was easier than dealing with C7 on the rf board. I find RIT=Off a
satisfactory center detent.
Per your request, I'll spare you my comments on the gain control as the K1
doesn't need one.
