Finally someone showing it can be modified to left handed.

[@NATIVEWARS]

thank you for the info and time to teach us noobs the way of the ham. again thank you

[@dovetomarc]

Agree Josh. Best to just download and read the manual at this stage.

[@AK4TF]

I wasn't initially interested in the KH1. I then saw Thomas' video of him opening his up about 10 days after launch and decided to order mine. Now I wait 6-8ish weeks. But I'm very excited to get it. --... ..--- -.. . .- -.- ....- - ..-.

When I received my KH1, SN 000209, I assembled it with the accessories. When I installed my key allen wrench, I put it in backwards. The short leg made contact with the case and shorted the unit so it would not turn on. The allen wrench is supposed to be inserted into a small hole in the black plastic that I didn't see on my unit. Elecraft customer support figured it out immediately.

Interesting thing about that notepad. I am also a lefty that learnt to key with the right hand so I can have a pen in the left hand so I dont have to keep switching hands. KH1 one has ruined that now! :)

[@DaDitDa]

A future enhancement would be the addition of an adjustable peak noise limiter.

[@batica81]

Very interesting concept. Wonder if you could do some snooping around the PCB, as you did with the pen :) There is 0 technical details about this radio operation and design yet. Elecraft used to be very open about those, sharing block diagrams and such for their previous models.

[@alexanderhahn9587]

Waiting for the KH-2 -with SSB. My CW is not good enough for a pile-up, so I'm using only SSB as a SOTA activator with my KX3 or my IC-705...

[@dah_ditdit_dahdah]

I need to become an influencer just to get products earlier. Ordered mine the day they were announced and still weeks away from delivery

[@gliderrider]

His name was Scott and he gave you a 539. In Colorado. Your welcome de n5vwn Hey congrats! You made you first “Q”!

[@MrAlanmcd]

Can you crossmode SSB/CW? i.e. you hear an SSB station calling CQ, you need to call them CW, and continue listening SSB to complete the QSO. Is this possible? I know a few activators who would know what to do do here. But in US this is not possible. In VK very easy because we are not locked into mode and frequency.

[@itrstt66]

Can you use a regular classic Morse key?

[@wildweasel6898]

Does anyone else get inspector gadget vibes off the KH1? Really really expensive for a little CW rig tho. Don't think I can justify it 😭

[@vinnyboomba9948]

Double-sided log sheets are an 500.00 option

[@RadioK4RLC]

Was really interested in a deep dive into tech specs and ops with KH1....sorta a video version of the manual. The manual is ok, but lacks many specific details of operation, unlike my KX2. But dude, I can't believe how unfocused and self-indulgent this video was....Taking abt 5 minutes to try and listen to WWV on 15 Mhz...and really not knowing some of the specs of this unit. Don't like to dis anyone on KZbin, but let's just say I won't be subscribing to your channel.
