[Elecraft] K1 boards open source?

[Douglas Hagerman]

Apologies in advance if this has been answered before. I can’t find it in the mailing list archives although surely it has come up already.

I have recently realized that I “need” a 30 + 17 meter band filter board for my 40 + 20 K1. Obviously I have had 15+ years to make this realization, but I’m slow. After the recent fire sale, it appears that no more K1 parts are available from Elecraft.

If they are no longer selling K1 kits, and have therefore apparently given up on the K1 as a profit-making activity, and given that the schematics and BOMs are already in the documentation, is there a source for the circuit board layouts so that third-party boards could be sourced? I suppose the board layout is copyrighted.

Or could Elecraft make a run of bare boards? It should not be too hard to collect the required parts if the boards were available.

Seems like there could be a small-volume continuing product availability stream somehow…

Thanks.
