[Elecraft] K-1 4-bander suggestions?

[Dick Dievendorff]

Welcome back! I remember my HW-16 fondly, and I came back to the hobby after a multi-year hiatus as well. I also remember that CW test at the FCC office as a teenager.

I would only suggest that you take your time and really savor the build.  There are a number of accessories available, but you can order them as you find the need.  Try your new radio, engage with the community and get opinions. There are a lot of friendly and extremely knowledgeable folks on the Elecraft reflector.

I started my Elecraft experience with a couple of mini-modules to get my soldering skills honed again, then I built a KX1. Then a K2, then a K3, then... I ended up selling off my other gear and now use most of the Elecraft product line.  Now I work for them. I sold my first K2 and my second K2 kit is waiting for when I find a few hours free for a few days in a row.

I just ordered a K1-4 bander that should be here by the end of this week. My question is this. Those of you in the know on this group, can you please give me your input as to what additional items that I might want to order from Elecraft for this radio? I am remembering the Heathkits of the 1960's which made me nostalgic for a CW only radio. Brings back memories of my HW-16 now long gone ;>)............Thanks for any help that you fellows can give me. Lastly are there any other websites that you can suggest along this line of thought? Thanks guys! jim hahn dds at
