[Elecraft] K1 1380 is born

[t.wells@blueyonder.co.uk]

Folks,

K1 1380 is alive on the 2-band filter module. No major faults during
construction, apart from 4 unsoldered joints - the legs of the PA transistor
!!! - and the headphone ground.

Rx - 55mA
Tx - Max 6.4W into a 50ohm dummy load

I can state without fear of brickbats that it is more sensitive and
selective than my Century 21 and my HW101 !!

I got the K1 as a spur to completing my code test in January and I hope to
work some of you in the new year - I'll be the one wobbling along at 1 wpm
using a thirty feet length of carbon fibre fishing line

4 Band Filter, Noise blanker, ATU and internal battery unit to go.....

Regards,

Tony G7IGG
