I contacted Elecraft parts who sent me two 22MHZ xtals right away Plugged one into the KFL1-4. All is now right with the world.
Thanks guys. There is just something perfect about the K1 on a whole bunch of levels. I enjoyed building it. I like operating it. I really like the keyer. I even enjoy working on it. Great work Elecraft. --- Mike KL7R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I contacted the fellow from Kodiak who said replacing the 22MHz xtal > fixed his problem.
