Found time to install most of the remaining components on the RF Board. Called it a day before getting into the last two toroids. Only a few pages left in the manual: complete, test and align the RF Board, then final assembly.
I noticed that the manual advises getting used to operating the K1 in base configuration before adding in any options. I've bought the ATU, noise blanker and internal battery kit. I had already decided not to install the battery option; reading the instructions, it all seemed a bit "kludgy" in operation. I'll leave out the noise blanker to begin with, as well. But I will have to decide about the ATU. I guess I have the option of building and installing it, with the possibility of it complicating fault-finding, or leaving it out and testing the K1 with my old Z-match ATU. Something to be decided.
