[Elecraft] K1-4 4 band version gone? (Hand SMT---Never)

[Matt Maguire]

My first experience with SMT was building a softrock multiband
receiver kit. It is a hybrid through hole/SMT kit, with few different
types of SMT devices. I really enjoyed building it, and learned a lot
from it, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to dip their toe in
the water, so to speak.

Elecraft does have a kit where you have to solder an SMT device -- the
wideband noise generator. I got to practice twice with that one: once
when I first build it, and then again after I have a little accident
with a transmitter :-)  I was going to try to remove the damaged
component with a hot air rework station that I picked up recently, but
with the plastic battery holder etc. nearby, thought better of it and
just snipped off the fried component with my side cutters, with no
dramas.
