[Elecraft] Has the KX1 changed in 5 years?

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

Not much has changed in the KX1.  About the only changes have been a 
release of the firmware to support the KXB3080 option and a change in 
the number of turns on L3 to enable the PA to work better on 80 meters.  
If that KX1 has the KXB3080 option installed, those changes have been 
installed.  Without the KXB3080 option, it is still up to date, and 
those changes would be installed as part of the KXB3080 installation.
BTW, if you do order the KXB3080 option and your KX1 firmware is 1.01, 
let Elecraft know that you need updated firmware - it will be provided 
at no extra cost.

73,
Don W3FPR

I'm an engineer and use a soldering iron a lot at work, and I'm busy these days so a build project doesn't excite me. right now.  I have a lead on a 5 year old KX1 and was wondering if they've changed much in 5 years.  I'm fine with little mods and tweaks but want to make sure it isn't dramatically different from the new ones.  Have they changed much in 5 years?
