I started a thread with Wayne some time ago, but didn't ever "follow up"!

I was thinking of building a two band card for the K1 with 80 and 160 
meter coverage!

The crystal works out to be 9.800 Mhz.  I need the crystal specs to order
one from International.

The other info now needed is if a suitable size set of inductors are available
for L9 and L10 along with: C1-C5, C11-C15, C21-C23 values?  Coverage 
to be around 1.800-1.885 Mhz.

Has anyone out there done this yet?  No sense inventing the wheel twice!
Conditions have been supurb on 160 and 80 here lately and QRP there should
be interesting!

Furthermore, has anyone tried the KAT-1 tuner out on 80 meters yet?  I realize
the matching range will be limited here, but it should still function within
some limits.
