And, here I was planning to get a 4-band K1 this fall. Yes, real Bummer.
So, I figure that I could do one of the following:
(1) Buy THREE 2-band K1 radios (saves on interchanging other bands).
(2) Buy the Two band option board and get along with 4 bands.
(3) Stick with just a 2-band K1.
I am going with the obvious, option (1). OK, just kidding. Option (2) But at
first I am starting just with Option (1). I wonder if there is a science
behind the logic in which two bands to choose to go together.
