[Elecraft] KX1 - some improvements ?

[Craig Rairdin]

You should think about supplemental oxygen. You should be OK up to 12,000 ft
or so. If you're experiencing symptoms of hypoxia at altitudes less than
that, some extra 02 would be a good idea.

Paul,

I suppose your right !

I took the kx1 apart tonight and was considering repackaging it myself. 
It could use a bit more room inside for a few more batteries as well.

How about KX1-hA  (high altitude). Above 11K ft I tend to reduce my 
judgement so simplification is important. Examples, I kept pushing the 
tuning knob expecting it to read MHz, my code speed dropped, and I sat 
there on a chunk of granite playing with the KX1 attached to a 20' 
lighting rod as clouds formed overhead.
