[Elecraft] Found a K1!

[Bruce Beford]

I think so... (a dream). I have a K1 now, and have had a few of them in the
past. There can only be 1 band board in at a time, although the K1 will
remember the VFO calibration for all the bands, across the boards you have.
The only time this is an issue is if you have two different modules with the
same band, like 40/30/20/15 on a 4 band board, and 40/17 on a 2 band board.

GL,
Bruce N1RX

 Bruce: don't consider this the beginning of an argument but.....I recall
having both modules installed, at the same time, in my previous K1......was
I dreaming that??
