[Elecraft] K1: Band options

[Michael Babineau]

Stephen :

You can either have a KFL-4 OR a KFL-2 in the K1, not both at the same time.

Swapping the boards involves opening the case, and removing the ATU (if present)
before you can get at the band board. This process requires the removal and reinstallation
of a few screws so it is probably not the sort of thing that you want to do on the fly, in the field.
