[Elecraft] Re: K1 no output on 20 - KFL1-4 problem?

[Mike KL7R]

I contacted Elecraft parts who sent me two 22MHZ xtals right away
Plugged one into the KFL1-4.
All is now right with the world.

Thanks guys.

There is just something perfect about the K1
on a whole bunch of levels.  I enjoyed building it.
I like operating it. I really like the keyer.   
I even enjoy working on it.

Great work Elecraft.
