[Elecraft] Backpacking a K1

[Michael Babineau]

John :

I have both the K1 and KX1 and they are both great radios and very miserly when it comes to
power consumption.  I find that most often when I am on outings where I am walking or cycling
to my operating location .. I go with the KX1.  I have tried many different small rigs
but it really hard to beat the KX1 package with the internal tuner and KXPD1 paddle;  for size,
weight and features. 

I keep my KX1, earbud headphones,  KXPD1 and pomona (Banana to BNC) adaptor  all in a small Pelican 1120 
case that is totally bombproof. I never worry about the rig whether it is in the bottom of a pack, kayak or a 
bicycle pannier.
