I just got back from the ARRL convention in Long Beach.  Attended Wayne's
presentation there about QRP radios which was kind of an explanation of
the evolution of backpacking radios which ultimately resulted in the new
KX1.

Wayne let me "handle" the KX1 at the Elecraft booth.  He even turned the
paddle around to accomodate me (I'm a southpaw) and I sent a little CW
with it.  The note sounded good in the nearby K2 that was monitoring the
frequency.

If you're a backpacker, you've got to buy this radio kit.  It's amazing
how many features can be put into a small package by wizards from Aptos.
