[Elecraft] [K1] internal battery - charging

[paulb]

Hi Mike

The K1 cover is the original supplied with the kit.
Smaller speaker volume is quite a bit lower, but I use a headset so
it's not a big issue for my style of use.

The bracket which the batts/speaker sit in can be slightly
modified to sit lower in the chassis, this allows the kit cover to
sit flat. Looks stock except the front speaker screw holes 
are visible. I have put a dyno label accross them with my callsign and
rig serial number...looks ok.

AA batts are sealed but leaks will occur no doubt.
Like I say, it's nqr but sure beats swapping out battery packs.

cheers from downunder

By "original cover" I suppose that you actually are refering to the
replacement
cover that comes with the KBT1, not the original K1 cover.

(5)  I much preferred the appearance of the original K1 top cover/speaker
assembly, compared to that of the KBT1.
