Hello all!
This is somewhat belated since K1 #474 has been "On The Air" now for nearly
three weeks, but I am a new subscriber and had to take this opportunity to
boast!! My K1 went together flawlessly and fired right up! Only difficulty I
encountered was not realizing how sharp those band-pass filters are when
tweaking and doing final alignment. One email to Elecraft was promptly
answered by Gary Surrency, AB7MY with the details I needed. I am getting
nearly 7 watts on both bands (20 & 40) and can't believe the receiver, how
sensitive it is! I will now take on the K2!! Have logged nearly two dozen
contacts since "buttoning it up" and am having the time of my life! Have it
set up in my workshop and sometimes I go out there just to stare at it!! 

Wife thinks I'm really weird... which leads me to my submission for the
T-shirt slogan. Here it is "K1 (or K2) ...if you have to ask, you wouldn't 

understand!"
Alas...allow me to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to
Eric, Wayne, Gary, and Scott and all at Elecraft for a remarkable product
and many, many best wishes for your continued success. Elecraft is truly
revolutionizing the QRP world!!

Excellent condition K1  (serial number 474) 4 bands (40-30-20-15) with
internal tuner and latest firmware. Also have a 2 band board for 80/17
meters that needs to be finished, it is 90% completed, all the parts are
there.  Noise blanker and internal battery kits as I got them from Elecraft
ready to build and install. All manuals and documentation. Works and looks
great. $400 + shipping. Might consider a small 40 meter rig like a
Wilderness 40A or DSW-40 as part trade.
Thanks

#474 now on the air at N1SU, 29-Jan-04.

It still puts out 7 watts and receives as well as anything I have in the
shack.
