Mike noted (among other things): > the K1 Quick Reference Card ... still has several errors that were pointed out more than two years ago.
I also ran into a critical area where K1 web info was well behind the times (though the reference was updated when I pointed it out). I took this (correctly or not) as an indication of Elecraft inattention to continued refinement and development of the K1. I'd like to be wrong, but I think the K1 heydey is past. That's understandable, because Elecraft is busy with other interesting and exciting work revolving around the bread-and-butter rig... and maybe busy with some fascinating new projects. The mod world is pretty quiet, too. The K1 zenith appears to have passed. This reflector is just reflecting K1 senescence. (Again, "I'd like to be wrong.") Incidentally, I also consider the 4-band board and antenna tuner to be essential K1 accessories. Because I have them, I wrongly assume that everyone has "upgraded." At this stage, I would be much less enthusiastic about a 2-band K1 sans tuner. I don't think that such a "standard" can compete with the KX1.
