[Elecraft] K1 VFO selection (was Band selection) -Friendlyopinions

[Sandy]

I set mine up at first for 80 khz.  Tuning rate is just about right.  Since 
later I was doing some net work with it on 80 meters and above 7100 on 40, I 
later changed it to 150 Khz.  The tuning is "OK" on 150 but very "touchy" 
and requires a more careful manipulation of the knob!  I will probably 
change it back to 80 khz. now that the FCC has "in its' infinite wisdom" 
rearranged the CW segments on 80 radically.

My recommendation would be to stay with 80 khz.

73,

Sandy W5TVW
