[Elecraft] KX1 Replacement?

[Wayne Burdick]

Short answer: KX2. 

*    Autotuner.

Yes, with a much wider matching range than the KX1 

*    Up to 4 bands

8 bands. 
And all modes.  

*    Knobs for tuning, etc. - I really like the filter knob!

Yes. And 3x as many controls/operating features. 

*    Very Low Power consumption

Yes. Just 150 mA or so, higher than a KX1 but far lower than any other full-featured radio. Much greater internal battery life. Up to 12 watts. 

*    Small & lightweight

Nearly the same size as the KX1 by volume. A bit heavier. 

*    Through-hole kit construction

No :)

The KX2 also has full DSP with all the trimmings, and a large LCD (same as we use on the K3S). 

73,
