[Elecraft] K1 Upgrade Pics

[JT Croteau]

My good friend, NV1B, and I have been working on upgrading my newly
acquired K1 #292.  If anyone is curious, I've posted some pics on my
blog of the installed K1 Upgrade Kit stages along with an operating
view of the installed backlight kit.  For the backlight kit, because I
will be running on battery almost exclusively, I decided to use the
330 ohm current limiting resistor instead of the 200 ohm.  The 200 ohm
would have resulted in a brighter display but consume 10 mA vs. the 6
mA the 330 ohm results in.

The pics can be seen here: http://w6fo.blogspot.com/

I apologize for some of the ugly soldering on the RF board.  The rig
was not built by me and it looks like the original builder didn't use
the best solder out there to assemble the rig.  She works FB however
though.
