[Elecraft] K1/KX1 easy tuning strategy

Tue Nov 4 14:31:00 2003

This sounds curiously similar to the method I use on my K2 (tm).  I have used the 
"Lachow Tuning System" (tm) from day one.  It is such an intuitive system the training 
required to learn it is minimal.  You're going to have to talk to your lawyer (tm) about 
enforcing your trademark however ;)  And royalty fee collection ... ?
