Elecraft K1 Transceiver Kit

The K1 is a small multiband CW transceiver kit with 7 watts of output, full QSK, variable IF width, audio derived AGC, and built-in antenna tuner.

My K1 had a rather turbulent start in its career, I must admit. Somehow I managed to blow the final twice before it actually got on the air. Shame on me!
