Hi Bob - The KX1 gets the nod here. But for locations that I access by car, I like my K1 better. For that reason, I sold my KX1 and built another K1. I sold my first K1 when I built my KX1. I don't take a rig hiking much, due to we usually have a quick turn around time, and head back. If I want a hiking rig, I will use an SST. The K1 is a much more pleasant rig to use and has a performance advantage. There should be much more in the archives. Rick Dettinger K7MW =========================================
