[Al Hanzl]

Own K-1 number 151.  Sorry to hear the news. Still have lots of fun with that 
rig. 
Will accessories still be available for awhile?
I'm sorry I was never able to obtain the 4 band module for it.

Re: [Elecraft] Beam antenna

[Al Hanzl]

Maybe worth looking into Mosley mini beams if weight or wind load an issue. 
I installed one last year. 
I have enjoyed the results but antennas can turn into a religious argument. 
I have limited backyard space so I needed to compromise. Mine is on top of a 
33' telescoping aluminum mast attached to the side of the house. Rotator at 
base. 
The 4 element beam (3 elements on 10-15-20 and dipole for 12 and 17) weighs 
less than 16 lbs on 6 foot boom. I liked the idea of 5 band coverage. 
It's performs far better than my R7 but have not compared it to a hex beam. 
I have heard good things about hex beams but was bit concerned about potential 
maintenance issues. 
I do not run it on high power. So if you are QRO I would not recommend it. 
Just my 2 cents.

[Elecraft] K-1 rig control

[Al Hanzl]

Ok
New topic
I am rather new to contesting, N1MM+, rig control, etc.!
I have a K-1 s/n 151 which I enjoy using in contests. 
I also have an Icom 746 which I have interfaced with my Dell laptop W8 with 
some success.
Can the K-1 be interfaced for rig control and CW contesting using N1MM+ ?
Tnx

 Al,
 
 The short answer is no.  There is no provision on the K1 for computer 
 communications.
 The K2 with the KIO2 or KPA100 option does have computer connection 
 capability as does the K3 and KX3.
