[Elecraft] K1 Discontinued

[Todd]

Up at Salmoncon this year I had a chance to play with just about every radio
Elecraft has come out with, with the exception of the K2.  I left my KX2 
sit in
the tent while I had a chance to take the K1 for a nice test drive one 
night while
sitting around in the pavilion.  Great little radio.  Wish I would have 
pulled the
trigger on it years ago!    I see them quite often at different events 
for sale, usually
going for around $400 - $450....

I'm sure I'll see one again this year at Pacificon - and maybe it'll 
find a place here... ;-)

Now that they're on the "endangered list", maybe that price is going 
up   :-(

Let me know Skip when you want to do Peavine (before the snow flies) and 
you can
test drive the KX2.

Later,
Todd KH2TJ
