[Elecraft] K1 Backlight success

[Ron Pfeiffer]

I finally got around to installing the K1 backlight and it works great. Took 
about an hour.
I used one of those "bulb" solder suckers. Had to remove the solder from the 
sucker after
every third ho;e but it worked great to clear the holes of solder and the 
new backlight
just slid into place.

I used the "agc" to control it and that works great.  Powers-up with 
backlight off which
conserves battery but turns on with the AGC menu.

Another great upgrade for the K1.
