[Elecraft] Feasibility of KPA-1(?)

[david feldman]

I understood that there was some inter-band dependency, but I had not 
considered that the 4 band module could be made to 3 bands this way. That 
would be good news; the 80-40-30 combination is likely the most frequently 
used configuration I would need. I looked at the 4-band module and many of 
it's components are very small, but perhaps the PC board layout still could 
be adapted by using the space freed from the adjacent unused band? Would the 
unit need software changes so it would expect this behavior in the software?
