[Elecraft] Using T1 with KX2 or KX3

[Dave Fugleberg]

Barry, I went through that thought exercise before I ordered my KX2, since
I already own a T1. In the end I ordered the internal tuner with the KX2. I
have not regretted it for a minute. No extra cables, batteries, or fuss.
And it works very well.
Since you're concerned about remoting the tuner, your use case might be
different than mine, but for a grab and go portable radio, the internal
tuner is the way to go.
