[Elecraft] K1-4 4 band version gone?

[Phil Wheeler]

Not all "serious hams" would agree with you. In my 
first SMT effort I was very careful but lost one 
part. Looked all over for it. Two days later I 
found it in my shoe.

I have paste, hot air gun, hot plate -- all the 
goodies -- but I try to avoid using them, a matter 
of mental stress -- and, to be honest, age. 
Something as complex as a K1 would be a bit much. 
I prefer the pre-mounted SMT component kits, if 
there are to be SMTs.
