[Elecraft] Feature density of portable transceivers: K1 vs. KX2

[Fred Jensen]

Having had an external LiPoly R/C battery burst into flames while 
plugged into my KX1, I don't think I'd ever put Lithium <anything> 
inside my radio.  I know there are a bunch of lithium chemistries, some 
less volatile than others, but watching the little package "sparken und 
fizzen" on our gravel driveway convinced me I'd done the right thing 
with keeping it external.  YMMV.
