Those of you who have the KX1 (or decided against purchasing it), what
improvements, add-ons, fixes, etc. would you suggest for this little radio?
John, I wasn't happy with the compromise between having internal batteries
or having a decent RF output. 6 internal AA cells provide *significantly*
less than half the power the KX1 is capable of but I liked not having to
carry an external battery pack, so I installed two rechargeable LiPo
batteries in a 2nd bottom case that I ordered from Elecraft.
Now I have more than double the power out with no increase in weight, no
decrease in operating time and I still have an integrated package.
Details & photo are here, but scroll down to the chart for a better idea of
what these batteries accomplish:
