[Elecraft] Questions about KX2 possible purchase

[Doug Daniels]

I'm looking at the potential purchase of a KX2. It's primary use will be
SOTA, and other hiking ops. I've narrowed my choice down to this and one
other rig. I want to make sure of what is included and what is not, and
what needs to be added to the base rig and price.

My questions are, does the $829.95 price include a battery and tuner. The
web site isn't clear. If a battery is included, is a second one a wise
purchase?
If the tuner isn't included, how necessary is the tuner (I have an end fed
80 and am building an end fed 40).
Is the AX1 worth it for just 20, 17, 15?
What else is not included that I should be considering?
