[Elecraft] K-1 4-band Availability/Status?

This mainly for Jay, W6CJ.

Don answered your question about the availability of the K-1 4 band module. That is a shame as it really made the K-1 more versatile. I am really enjoying mine.

You also asked about the stability of the K-1's VFO. I had not heard of any issues before buying mine and haven't had any problems. There is a small drift when first turned on, but stabilizes within a short time (minutes). If you had a signal within the bandpass, it will not drift outside the bandpass during warmup. After the rig has been on a few minutes you will not notice any drift. Of course this is only my experience.
