[Elecraft] Dumb K1 Question

[Sandy W5TVW]

Problem is:  the K1 is offset for "lower sideband" so you will get garbles on 17 meters!
You'd get the same on 20 if you could tune that high.

The K1 is primarily a CW only rig.

| Okay, K1 #2222 is alive and well! and I have installed the 4 band module 
| wired for 40, 30, 20 and 17. I also built a 2 band module for 80 and 15.
| 
| I was just playing with it and it receives very well on all 4 bands, but 
| when I tuned in some 17m SSB sigs I couldn't quite get them in clearly, so 
| I looked for a button to push to change sidebands and can't find one. So, 
| is the K1 really a CW only rig or did I miss something in the menus? I 
| really like it, and it has that "cute" factor going for it, but it would be 
| nice to tune in SSB on 17m if I can. If not, oh well...
