Hi Scott,
I don't think this is the case. The K1 was an amazingly mature product when it
first appeared in Fall 2000. By this I mean that it performed its intended
functions well and had very few bugs. Rigs with problems ge
Actually, many manufacturers with multiple but similar models, often have
lapses of keeping everything updated. Things get busy with more than one

I've had K1 SN 175 for almost four years (original owner). I've found it to be

Let me present a dissenting point of view on the K1. I am the fourth owner
of K-1 SN0004 with a 40/20 M module. I have had it for 2 years. I have found
that the more I use it the less I like it.

My only HF rig is the K1 and it suits my needs well.
I'm lucky if I get a half hour a week for hamming and I'd prefer to spend
that time on the air, not in the rig. But eventually something will need
fixing or adjusting -- the ou

I too like my K1 a lot. My K2 is the main station rig and the K1 travels
with me. I have used it operating portable in Maui and in London and it packs
