This is indeed the "missing manual"....er I mean the "missing video manual". Professional, succinct and excellent video. Tnx Bob

[@houseofhamradio]

Thank you for your kind words. My pleasure to do this and give back to the community.

[@haramanggapuja]

Yeah! No kidding. The EleCraft manual is seriously bad. I recommend that this be put into a text/book with appropriate photos or drawings. I was (and may yet still be) on the verge of sending it back for a refund. That or sell it to someone who thinks it's the best radio in the universe. Planned on taking it to Europe this autumn. I'll take the X5105 instead. 73 de W8IJN

Yes Finally a great video on the KH1. Thousand thanks. This is standard by which all instructional videos should be made. Indexing, great videography and audio. Great methodical instruction. The best! If you could do a series on the KX2, I would be all set. Keep them coming. Greatly appreciated.

[@houseofhamradio]

Thanks for the kind words. I do have a KX2 and was planning a similar type of video for that... More to follow.

[@raithjames860]

@@houseofhamradio If you do a series on the KX2, it would be nice to include a section on how to use the programming software. Maybe a section on settings for SSB, digital and CW.

[@bobwo6w730]

Very nice job. Many thanks for the obvious time and care put into production!

[@houseofhamradio]

I appreciate the feedback.

[@darenwunderle9670]

I found this video extremely helpful. I would also greatly appreciate you doing a deeper dive on how to adjust and fine tune the factory settings as sometimes these settings are accidentally moved.

[@houseofhamradio]

Thanks Daren, That really depends on which factory settings you are referring to. Some require special equipment to properly adjust. All of the "Danger Zone" settings require the user to unlock them so they shouldn't be accidentally changed. That being said, if there is something in particular you would like to see, I will look into it. 73 Bob

Thanks! Great video. Mine should be here in the next 2-3 weeks. Have been reading the manual on and off since I ordered in January, but it is very helpful to see it in action.

[@houseofhamradio]

Glad it helped! It will be worth the wait.

[@VA7BC]

Suggestion for a video: deep dive into some features like using the mini pan function while operating

[@houseofhamradio]

Got that on the list of things to do. Thanks.

[@boots_n_coots]

Very good job and perfect timing for me, thanks.

[@houseofhamradio]

Of course I planned it that way! 😀

[@user-so2jd8io5e]

Great job on going through the KH-1 functions - very complete.

[@houseofhamradio]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@rickzabrodski5767]

Well done. Professional in every way. I would suggest an advanced chapter. This should include how to customize the optional display items in a step by step manner. Perhaps an on the air example of turning the RIT on and off in real time as well. Overall, and excellent job. 73 VE6GK SN 219

[@houseofhamradio]

Thanks Rick. I will look at doing both of those in the future. 73 WV7W SN 312

[@MentalWhiplash]

Very well done!

[@houseofhamradio]

Thank you very much!

[@lauriepalmeira7519]

This is great! Thank you!

[@houseofhamradio]

Glad it helped you.

[@DaDitDa]

Outstanding!

Thanks!

Well done! NF6S

Thanks Eric. 73 Bob WV7W

A video of enabling and using KH1 pan-adaptor would be useful.

[@houseofhamradio]

I can do that. Just to set expectations, Not really a panadapter. It scans through a series of frequencies and shows a relative signal strength at the time it scanned. Not particularly useful in my opinion.

[@DaDitDa]

@@houseofhamradio Today, I finally received my KH1 ordered on Jan 1, 2024.. One of the first functions I tried was the panadapter. I agree that it's not too useful -- to put it mildly. Otherwise, I'm impressed.

[@randallhash9283]

Great video…Thank you…de WB4BBF

[@houseofhamradio]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@MrAlanmcd]

You didn't cover the long press SPOT function

[@houseofhamradio]

I did miss that one. Thanks.

[@douglasturnbull6989]

Excellent, would have found even more helpful ten days back when my KH1 arrived. A Link from.the Elecraft site would be no harm though I imagine there are reasons for not doing so. Thank you. 73 EI2CN

[@houseofhamradio]

I would have liked to have had this out much sooner but life gets in the way. Working with Wayne to get this linked on the Elecraft site so hopefully soon.
