Hi Lloyd,

Sorry to hear about your back! Fortunately, this is exactly the kind of 
compromised operating situation "Kixie" (the KX1) was designed for, 
with its built-in paddle/battery/ATU, and I'm glad it's working out. 
And when the band shuts down, you can read your novel using the rig's 
log-book lamp  ;)

Happy New Year to you, too.

73,
Wayne
