I am building the K1 with the 4 band filter board. I am at the step
where I must decide which VFO range to choose, 150 kHz or 80 kHz.
I would like to hear from those who have built this receiver and why
they made the choice they did.
I've used the 170 kHz (that's what you'll actually get) VFO span on my K1 for
the last five years. With the small mod described below, I find it very easy
to control. It allows me to cover all of the 40m CW band, and to get 10 MHz
WWV on the 30m band. It also allows coverage of most of the CW portion of 15m,
which will be more valuable when the solar cycle starts to pick up again in a
few years. You'll be able to tune about 20 kHz into the lower part of the 40m
phone segment. Since the K1 receiver always functions in LSB mode, it would be
possible to have cross-mode QSOs at the lower end of 40m, should the need arise.
I wonder why I have never seen any mods where a vernier dial has been added to
the K1 unit? Reasons.......???
