[Elecraft] [K1] Building a 60m band module for the K1

[Don Wilhelm]

Stef,

I have not done it, but I can explain how to do it.
Start with a crystal that is 8MHz above the lowest frequency you wish to 
tune.
Then tune the premixer bandpass filter to 3100kHz lower than your 
crystal frequency - I would start with the capacitor values from the RF 
bandpass filter for 30 meters.

You may have to experiment with the capacitors for the 60 meter RF 
Bandpass Filter.  If you have the 40 meter bandpass filter capacitors, 
you can add padder capacitors to them to bring the frequency down, or 
use filter design software to figure out what the capacitors should be.

73,
