FB on your band collection. While I remember some at
ARRL HQ were trading 2-band modules back and forth
when the K1 was 'new' -- it wasnt designed for that
kinda band changing. If you really want to qrp on
80m, maybe another QRP project is in order. But no
kit single banders come to mind that will output 5w.
Or if you have a qro rig, crank the power down to qrp.
Or explore something homebrew. The K1 does seem like
a nifty rig for portable operation, but sounds like
you enjoy yours from home.
