Norm, I think you are seeing that the answer is: absolutely not! But the list traffic is light because the K1 is, well, a less complex radio. I'm finally getting around to adding the noise blanker to mine, but it's a six-bander -- with a board swap. Thank you, Elecraft! W/best regards,

Norm, I can attest to the fact that you are not the only one still using the K1, it is still a very fine transceiver. The K2 is longer lived than the K1, it was the start of Elecraft in 1998, and is still in production 20 years later. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/13/2018 10:14 PM, Norm Lee wrote:

Hi Norm, I power up all my E-gear periodically, including the K1, to remind myself of how much fun it was to design (and to build S/N 001, which always qualifies as a home-brew project). Hope you’re enjoying yours. 73, Wayne N6KR http://www.elecraft.com > On Nov 13, 2018, at 7:14

I thought the thing about Porsche 911s was that in the wet you have to go round roundabouts twice. (I suspect this joke won't traverse the Atlantic well, but never mind) I don't have a problem with Non-US radios in W1AW but I agree it would be nice to see an Elecraft radio there as well. Japan
