[Elecraft] K1 # 1605

[C. GONDARD]

The K2 # 644 is happy to announce the birth of his small brother named K =
1 # 1605.

*****

I need about 15 hours to built it. I don t find any difficulty and all =
the tests and alignments were performed and reached exactly as written =
in the manual.=20

My first QSO was with 5H3RK this morning on 18.072 : RST for me was 449; =
not bad for 5 watts and a long dipole (2x20 m + 450 ohms parallel and a =
home made 4/1 balun + matching box : the KAT1 is built, I will put it in =
the K1 case this evening).

I have only 1 trouble with the filters : when I use XFIL to change =
filters : I start from FL1, after FL2, and finally FL3 : but when I =
reach FL3, all the keys are locked and it is not possible to change any =
function , except by a power off. Same problem when I try to change the =
filter bandwidth in the MENU : I am able to change the bandwidth for FL1 =
and FL2, but when I switch to FL3; all the keys are locked. Is that a =
known problem, ou do I have something else wrong ? BTW, the FL3 filter =
is working with a narrow bandwidth (certainly the 200 HZ factory =
setting).

I try a RESET according to page 57 in the manual, but the behaviour for =
FL3 is always the same.

Any idea ?

Best regards
