[Elecraft] K1-4 4 band version gone?

[Gil G.]

I will second that.

I built two Weber MTRs and in many ways it was easier than through-hole, except for the size. I used a soldering iron.
“No soldering required” kits are no fun to me. I would never say that I built my KX3 for instance, only assembled it.
