Doesn't have to be legal limit. Seems everyone is expressing

What ever Elecraft comes out with in this venue is going to be acceptable

I wouldn't give up my old SB-200, but I would MOST CERTAINLY buy an Elecraft

1000 watt range. And I don't think it needs to be 100% duty cycle, but

I was expecting to hear a carrier, but after I thought about it that
can't be the case.
With the IF connected to the Subreceiver I can tune around either
side of 8215 and hear QSO's. I have to have the Preamp on by I can hear
them. Would that be considered adequate? I have done th

like about +/- 5mV (no ATT, no PRE) in the 80 m band. Due to the bandwidth
limitation of my oscilloscope, I guess these values should be doubled or so
to find the true values.

Hi LS. I have never built a K1, but I would guess that a K2 is 2 or
