    Own a 350 I got on Amazon for well under the list price. Love it.

    - Quick deploy tang on the back of the blade is handy.
    - Great build quality.
    - Holds an edge well enough for EDC purposes.

    The Mighty 7-3...King of the Light Twins. I like the jet and the company.

    QTH earlier this week at W6/CC-075. Only a 1-pointer, probably the coolest SOTA summit I’ve activated. If you’re in the SF Bay Area and get the chance, recommended.

    Yesterday and today I managed a few SSB contacts on 10m in addition to a good amount on CW. Conditions are great.

    I think you’re right. There are a few guys who tune just slightly off center and their signal stands out. K6EL in San Fran is a master at this.

    Word on the street is Wayne N6KR confirmed FT8 firmware coming to the KH1 soon.

    Also apparently that paddle return spring is crap. Elecraft is upgrading it before the first batch is delivered.

    "Don't care, it's an HK and I'm buying one" seems to fit.

    Also, it looks like a slide lock behind the take-down lever, but no slide lock detent on the slide itself. Safety?
