This is not mine; I'm selling it for J. Frank Brumbaugh, W4LJD, a retired engineer in his mid 80s, getting out of ham radio. (He used to provide a lot of material for my column in the QRP Quarterly.) After I agreed to sell it for him and he shipped it to me I played around with it on and off for a few weeks, fixed a problem (intermittent RIT caused by a bad solder joint), and now it's time to advertise it.
I don't have an outdoor antenna at present, but did play around with it on my HP8640B/USM-323 signal generator and seems to receive well on all bands. It puts out at least 5 watts on all 4 bands, maybe more if you tweak the circuits. It covers at least the first 60 KHz of 40, 30, 20 and 15 meters (going up to about 67 KHz over the lower ends). Although there is an optional backlight now available for the display, this one does not have it. K1 #00422 Internal antenna tuner 4 band module for 40, 30, 20, 15 Noise blanker Homebrew power supply built into same type of Elecraft case as the K1 (will supply a JPG photo if you want to see it) Has some sort of add-on, flip-down, single leg stand on the front, which does not appear to be a current Elecraft product. No complete manual is included, although that can be downloaded from the Elecraft web site. (He did send along his documentation book which includes some marked up pages from the manual and sheets from the add-ons.) There is also some sort of homebrew audio filter module mounted inside the case but not hooked up and not tried. (I checked all 3 K1 filter settings and they seem to work well.) Noted in passing--it would appear that this came from a smoking environment, although I did wash off the cases which seems to have helped some. Asking $425 plus shipping (will be sent to US addresses only). Any questions on the rig will be gladly entertained. 73 and queue our pea DE WA8MCQ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
