[Elecraft] K1 VFO range

[Stephanie Maks]

Hi Larry,

I went with the 150kHz option, personally.  I'm not very good at CW,  
and was more interested in having the extra tuning range so I could  
tune around and listen.  The 80kHz does give you finer-tuning on the  
dial but personally I'd rather have the wider range.  I find it just  
takes a careful gentle touch on the dial, but it is not hard to tune  
very precisely even with the 150kHz option.

I think it's really a matter of personal preference.  Of course, the  
great thing is you can build for either option, and if you don't like  
it, you can always go back and change it later!
