[Elecraft] KX1???

[KENT TRIMBLE]

In my opinion, the KX1 is a neat little package. But understand from the 
outset that it was designed for sleeping bags, picnic tables, and 
short-term fun.  If your intended use falls elsewhere, buy elsewhere.

I would not recommend it for inexperienced builders or those with 
failing eyes and/or shaky hands.

The 80/30 modification kit requires care and concentration.

When completed, however, it's a satisfying piece of work, brilliantly 
designed.

The builder's greatest dilemma involves the antenna connector . . . 
deciding what kind of antenna to attach.  The success of any QRP 
installation lies with the antenna.  Spend twice as much time and effort 
in researching that issue as you do in building the rig itself.
