[Elecraft] 160 meters...

Sandy,

I am currently working on a 160 and 80 meter board for the K1.

As first pass, I will be using the component values and circuit
configuration from the K2 bandpass and low-pass filters - which means using
4.7 uH inductors in the bandpass filter instead of the 1 uH that are used
with the K1.
Steve K1HJ has used the following values for the pre-mix bandpass - C1 & C5
= 680 pf, C2 & C4 = 2700 pf, and C3 = 12 pf - I will try those values (160
will be band 1 on the K1 board).  I ordered a 9.8 mHz crystal from
International Crystal Manufacturing.

The parts to do the job are due in here in the next day or so, so if you can
'hang in there' for a while, I will provide a report after I have it up and
running.

73,
Don W3FPR
