[Elecraft] K1 vs KX1 Dilemma

[Bob C.]

Ron,

I have both the K1-2 and the KX1.  The KX1 is working
great with the autotuner and the plug in paddle.  Have
the 80/30 kit to build but it may have to wait awhile.

My comment is that I will keep both for now but really
like the KX1 better because of it's great receiver
that  has the RF Gain Control, the continuously
variable filter from 0.5 up to 2.0 Khz band width, the
easy to use tuning steps selectable for 10Hz, 100Hz,
and 1.0 Khz, Selectable modes for LSB, USB, Normal
(cw), the large receive coverage outside of the ham
bands, the night light, and for a few other reasons
that don't come to mind right now.  

Guess you could say I like the KX1 and may let the
K1-2 go someday.  Still they are both great radios.   

Let us know what you decide.
