Congrats on the build Doug.
Man it was a very fun build for me too.
I finished mine 09-15-10. Serial# 2908.
I was just thinking that in a little more than 6 months they sold 65 of
them.
On average 11 a month. I would say that they are still moving very nicely
off the shelf after all these years.
They must be will loved too because I hardly ever see them for sale used. I
know I'll die with mine :-)
It has the 4 band module and I added the noise blanker, ATU and battery kit.
I love how it works and sounds. I take it to work with me sometimes and toss
some wire up and across our 12' ceilings for lunch and make some contacts
even though I stink at CW.
I am getting better and it is fun on this nice little rig.
I like it so much I am now building the K2.
Anyhow I just wanted to add in how much fun it was to build.
Have a good evening.
