Bad news...for those who don't have one.
The K1-4 was my introduction to both Elecraft and purpose-built QRP
rigs. It's easily in the top 3 favorite radios I have owned in half a
century. I think Gil called it a cute mini K2 in the link below, and
that's a pretty good description. It's big enough to operate like a
"real" radio in the shack. It's small enough to take anywhere. It tunes
smoothly and sounds exceptionally good. It has everything you need for
CW and nothing you don't.
The KX1 isn't a good substitute for the K1, in my opinion. It's a very
specialized rig with lots of compromises for those who need minimum size
and weight. After the initial fun of a new rig, my KX1 has been sitting
on a shelf with very little use. Whenever I grab it to go camping, I
pack the K1 as well "just in case". Then I end up using the K1 the
entire trip. If I was a backpacker, the roles would probably be
reversed, though.
Anyway, re: K1-4. I got mine, and I'm KEEPING it. (hi)

Perhaps Elecraft will clarify when their day begins soon.
