[Elecraft] K1 #2973 on the Air (Choosing the K1 or KX1)

[Andrew Moore]

(KK5F review of K1 and KX1)

Great and thorough review Mike.  I'll add some opinions:

- KBT1 battery option is a little fiddly and I found that swapping batteries
was cumbersome.

- With no KBT1 installed, even with KAT1 installed, a nice feature of the K1
is that there's room inside for custom expansion, or for just working on the
rig.  I always liked the clean, open layout of the K1.

- In terms of quick setup time (and the obvious size/weight advantages), the
KX1 is the best I've found. Battery swaps were also fairly quick and
painless.
