One can never have too many!  Tonight I parked my K2 and worked SKCC using
MFJ  9040 and KX1.  That leaves K1, KX3, LNR FX-2, Survivor, and OHR100A
lacking attention.  Don't tell them, but they will all will be for sale at
Hamvention as I look for different toys with which to play.  Stop by flea
market 3106 with your trades.  Let's deal!

Wes,
While I think the K1 (4-band especially!) is a fine rig, it's luster for me
was dulled a bit when I was able to make a KX3 my primary QRP rig. 
Pluses include:
  * Way more than four bands
  * All modes on the bands in does cover, even
    digital as an option
  * Superior receiver
  * Panadapter available
  * And others too numerous to mention here
all in a package that is not really all that much bigger than the K1.
Two definite pluses of the K1: I enjoyed building it more (a melt-solder
kit) and it has a bigger speaker.
