The K1, MP-1 and Palm paddle I put on sale 8/3/2002 are sold. The paddle made it's way to the USA, the K1 and MP-1 went to Dutch hams. I found that the local awareness of the "Elecraft" brand has increased a lot during the time I bought my K2 kit in May 2001 and the present day. The general opinion is: very good quality, but expensive. But then you have to keep in mind that we're Dutch. 73' Leo.
