[Elecraft] KX1???

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Mike,
Yes, this has already been covered in my review written in eham.  I have a lot of reservation in the construction of KX1 with the additional KXB3080.  If I were given the choice, I would simply give up the 80m.

There is a massive amount of KX1 information and links to many reviews at:

The 80m band is NOT native to the KX1.  That requires a not particularly easily installed add-on designated in Elecraft's bizarre, illogical, inconsistent, and above all confusing product nomenclature system as KXB3080.

The K1 with a two-band filter board that includes 80m would definitely provide better performance.
