[Elecraft] Odd question regarding the K1

2013-06-07 Thread Peter N. Spotts
I'm contemplating a K1 as my next QRP project. In thinking about the band combinations, if one goes for the full six bands on two boards, I wonder if it's possible to set the four-band board up for 80-40-20-15, rather than 40-30-20-15/17. This assumes one buys all the boards at the same time

My comment was tongue in cheek. I don't expect Elecraft to do anything but keep offering great stuff to its niche. Just want them to keep up the great business of making the stuff I have always wished I could have at a reasonable price and let me be part of the building process. 73, Bill K9YEQ
