The 17m band is a good band, but it no way comes close to the value of the 15m band when 15m is open. Within the last year, I've heard ZL-stations at 0400 local time on my K1 with only a 15-foot wire indoor antenna! > I don't think it is a good idea to remove components and > rebuild for 15m but may do it if I have to. I assume you have the KFL1-4 four-band board. There is **only one** component that you must change to alter your filter board from 17m to 21m: Change Y1 from the installed 26.050 MHz crystal for 17m to the 29.000 MHz crystal for the 15m band. Then, go through the KFL1-4 alignment for the 15m and 20m bands, doing as the manual says the 15m part first, then the 20m part. That's all there is. You'll be done in an hour, if you take your time.
