[Elecraft] K1 Kit Question

[Phil Hystad]

I would like confirmation on how the K1 is configured for 2-bands, 4-bands, and 6-bands.  I heard that for some of the configurations you must swap out boards.  Now, I think that this occurs when your order the two band version originally and then get the 2-band option.  I heard that these two boards occupy the same slot so if you want to have four bands without having to swap boards you should buy the 4-band version of the K1 to begin with.

Similar question for the 4 band version and the use of a 2-band option board given a total of six bands.  In this configuration do you need to swap out the 4-band module board and swap in the 2-band in its place to operate the 2 bands on the 2-band option board.

Does any of this make sense?

I would appreciate it if someone would confirm the way this works.  My original plan was to get the 2-band K1 and get the 2-band option later but if this requires swapping boards I would likely get the 4-band option to begin with (maybe).

Thanks,
