The part that has become unavailable is the blue trimmer capacitors that 
are used for tuning the bandpass filters.  That does *not* spell demise 
of the K1, but only the 4 band board.

Yes, sorry that it is gone, but the K1 with a 2 band board and an extra 
2 band board will give you 4 band capability - and you can mix and match 
the 4 bands in any combination of 2 bands that you want. In other words, 
the choices are more flexible than with the 4 band board.
