[Elecraft] K1 Discontinued

[Raymond Sills]

Well, certainly, the handwriting was on the wall when you could no longer purchase a 4-band K1.  That said, I feel bad for Perley, who was saving up to get one.  At this point, I suspect he will have to go in a different direction, if he wants a rig to construct himself.  He's pretty much said that he is on a very tight budget, so even saving up for a KX2 might be out of the question.  And, it appears that not too many K1 owners are anxious to put their units on the second-hand market, either because they plan to keep them "forever"... or because at a reasonable "price realized" from a sale is low enough that they will just keep it.  :)
