[Elecraft] K1-4 4 band version gone?

[Curt]

Oh well, all good things eventually end.  Kit building in the conventional 
sense is probably a declining interest anyway. Having built both thru-hole 
and SMT radios (ATS-3B), probably enjoy building about as much as operating.

Am thankful to have built a K1-4 (40/30/20/15) several years ago, also 
two-band boards for 80/17 and 12/10.
People who like to build ought to get a K1-2, K2, or KX1 before they all 
disappear due to parts availability issues.

Have never owned a KX1, but for me the K1 is pretty much the ultimate QRP 
radio.  90% of my operation is on 20M,  remainder mostly 40M, with solar 
cycle 15M has been fun too but in another two years that will be over.  30M 
has been used maybe twice.  A 2-band radio would certainly fill my needs. 
Changing band modules is a special pain for me because installed the onboard 
tuner (which is rarely used) into my K1 .  The extra boards have spent most 
of their lives in the desk drawer.

I would think a K1-2 for 40 (or 30) and 20 would still be a very good choice 
for anyone wanting a good performing full-featured QRP radio for home and/or 
portable.
