Elecraft K1 I

Описание: The K1…A compact, high-performance CW rig that you can build.
HF operation is more fun than ever these days--five watts is all you need to work worldwide DX. That's why we've packed two bands into our affordable, easy-to-build K1 transceiver. The KFL1-2 two-band module covers your choice of two bands (80, 40, 30 20, 17 and 15 meters available). The module plugs in to the K1's main board, internally, and you can swap in a different KFL1-2 module, with different bands, at any time.

“I Can’t Believe It’s a Kit!”

As suggested by the 9-volt battery in the photo, the K1 is small - only 2.2"H x 5.2"W x 5.6"D, and weighs 1.4 pounds. Yet we've included many features you'd expect in a desk-top HF transceiver, including RIT and XIT, full break-in CW, memory keyer, three crystal filter bandwidths, configuration menu, speaker, and digital display. The K1 is styled to match our all-band K2 transceiver, with the same “look and feel,” attention to detail, and operating Mojo you'd expect from Elecraft.


An HF radio you'll never leave at home

Looking for adventure? With its low receive-mode current drain of under 60 mA, the K1 is a natural for portable operation. Add the internal battery (KBT1) and internal auto-tuner (KAT1) to create a true, all-in-one-box station!





Ideal for first-time kit builders
We use only through-hole components in the K1 to make construction and testing a breeze. And our wireless design methodology eliminates nearly all point-to-point wiring. Finally, the front panel and filter boards plug directly into the RF board to form a clean, rugged assembly. You'll be tempted to leave the cover off to admire your work!

You also won't need a lab-full of test gear to align the K1. It includes a built-in digital voltmeter, wattmeter, and frequency counter.
