Bob, I've got a K1 with a 4 band board (40, 30, 20 and 15 meters) and a 
2 band board with a slight mod to put it on 160 meters as well as 80 m. 
  It really doesn't take all that long to change the two boards (and I 
have the antenna tuner as well) and it's pretty obvious which one should 
be in given the time of day.  With practice, it's pretty easy to do -- 
give it some tries!
