[Elecraft] [K1] Mods...

[John H Farmer]

Hello All,

I'm new to the group, so this is to say hello.  I'm happily breathing life
into my  K1 #2822. It arrived for Xmas.  The build is going well and my
toroid winding skills are improving :)

I have a couple of questions about K1 mods:

About the ACG response time mod :  changing C31 to a lower value cap ( from
2.2uF to 1uF or lower) is mentioned most often,
but there is a  variation of opinion whether C67 should be lowered also.
Many of the postings about this are several years old.  I was just wondering
if ideas about this have evolved any further?  

Secondly, I've read on JL3AHK's site, about a mod to increase OP power of
the K1 to a consistent 7W across all bands.  He suggests adding a 0.001uF
cap in parallel with R30 on the RF board. I can't find any reference to this
mod anywhere in the archives.  Any opinions on this mod?

This K1 is my first Elecraft rig. I'm learning lots and having fun.  It's
practice for a K2.

Thanks from down here,

John
