I have WAY more than two, Phil -- even after
selling the K1 and last Fall giving my NC-40A to
an old ham with no rig in Florida :-)

More than Two. Two is justified -- one as primary rig, second as backup. But,
having a third means you are serious. Therefore, more than Two. Note: no
upper bound.
My Norcal 40A is no match for my KX3 but I still put it on the air a couple of
times a year. When I operate portable QRP somewhere, I take my KX3, my KX1,
and my Norcal 40A and many times I have enough time to use them all for at
least one QSO. Just now waiting for the warmer Northwest weather although
today was not bad at 64 degrees.

Wes,
While I think the K1 (4-band especially!) is a fine rig, it's luster for me was
dulled a bit when I was able to make a KX3 my primary QRP rig. Pluses include:
* Way more than four bands
* All modes on the bands in does cover, even
digital as an option
* Superior receiver
* Panadapter available
* And others too numerous to mention here
all in a package that is not really all that much bigger than the K1.
Two definite pluses of the K1: I enjoyed building it more (a melt-solder kit)
and it has a bigger speaker.
After considerable thought, I recently sold my fully-configured and updated K1
#18. I sort of miss it, but how many rigs can a body use?

Hi all,
The KFL1-4 module needs trimmers that are both wide range and extremely
temperature stable, due to the high loaded Q of the band-pass filters. To
emulate this stable capacitance with trimmers now available, you'd have to use
a hand-selected C0G cap in parallel with a much smaller trimmer for each of the
original 16 trimmers. This would be extremely tedious for builders. So, while
it is possible, it is not practical.
