True, C78 and RFC8 are normally included only with the 80m filter board parts, but they are appropriate for *all* bands.  It would be better for Elecraft to simply supply them with the basic K1.

So have no qualms...even if you never use 80m.  If you have them, install C78 and RFC8 when building the RF board right from the start.
