[Elecraft] K1 bandspread options revisited ...

[Doug Hensley]

K1 Fanatics, 
The K1 can apparently be set to have a band spread of 80 kHz or 150.  Can this choice be easily reversed if I wanted to see (aka "experience") the difference in operation?  
Secondly, as the tuning rate increases with the wider band spread, can that be tamed by going to a different VFO encoder or variable pot ?  
Finally, does anyone know if the Cumbria Designs X-Lock VFO stabilizer would help the 150 kHz option ?  ... or is that irrelevant?
Feel free to reply in private as I am on Digest Mode.
Thank you,
Doug W5JV

Thank you Craig.  I got it now: the back light is a separate unit all by itself and not part of the LCD.  I was under the mistaken assumption that there were two LCD units and one was backlit.  My mistake.  I appreciate your taking time to answer this dumb question.  I didn't know.
Doug

      Hi Doug,

      

      Thank you for your interest in the K1.

      

      Here is the link to purchase the LCD backlight, separately. http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#K1%20Parts

      

      The instructions will show you how to add the backlight to the LCD
      which comes with the K1.

          Hello,
            

            
            Does


                a new K1 kit come with the backlight LCD or must that be
                ordered in addition to the K1?  And does that mean the
                buyer ends up with a spare non-back lit LCD ?
            

              
            Thank


                you,
