I just read an email asking what happened to all the K2's, K1's and
KX1's.  I just finished building a KX1 with the 30/80 board and the
Antenna tuner.  I use a Palm Paddle/Keyer so I didn't get the external
paddle.  It was very fun to build.  I used toroids from Mychael, the
Toroid Guy.  I was very happy with his work.  He does a much better
job on them than I did when building my K2.

I haven't made any contacts on my KX1 yet because my code speed is
pretty slow but I'm working on it.  The best I have done is someone
sent me a W9?? after I answered their CQ.  :)  It has been fun
building it and playing with it.

Looking forward to working you on the air.
