Alex, a "deaf" KX1 would be one that has an assembly error somewhere.
The KX1 has excellent sensitivity and plenty of audio output. We
recommend earbuds or other sensitive headphones, but it can also be
used with a small speaker as long as you use a stereo plug.
The FT817 certainly has more audio output, which is appropriate since
it's often used in mobile installations. But in terms of MDS, the KX1
should be as good or better. The KX1 also comes with a narrow crystal
filter -- optional on the FT-817.
