I worked 3 guys already and didn't even have the tuner built for the antenna yet. I decided to get the KX1 because I liked my K2 so much. I really like this tiny little pocket radio!
------------------------------ Congratulations, Sam! I agree. My K2/100 gets a regular workout, but there's something fundamentally appealing about the little KX1. It's a minimal rig with some very "non- minimal" features that let it compete without apology to the big rigs: both tx and rx tunable (no need to wait and pounce on stations happening across an xtal freq), complete 80/40/30 and 20 meter coverage plus receive across the popular SWL bands, an efficient QRP transmitter with built-in antenna tuner (you're gonna love that!), excellent keying and QSK and that receiver has a variable xtal filter that many "big rigs" can't match. As an O.T. who has hauled enough tube gear into the field to last me a lifetime, it's always a delight to notice that the entire rig with its internal battery, antenna, and key all fits in one pocket in my jacket!
