[Elecraft] KX1

[Chuck Chandler]

I was at NEAR-Fest in New Hampshire today and picked  up a nice little
KX1.  I had been looking for a small QRP rig for some POTA and when I saw
this I snapped it up.  As far as I can tell, it has the ATU and 30M
options.  It appears to cover 7, 10 and 14 MHz bands.

The seller mentioned the VFO knob will not push in, making some menu
selections difficult.  Once I read through the manual I will take it apart
enough to see if something is broken.

The only other thing I notice is when I replaced the AA batteries one of
the screws that secures one battery holder to the case back is the wrong
style and is keeping one AA battery from sitting quite flush.

Are any parts or options still available?  Does anyone support these if a
bigger repair is needed?
