The K1 is as remarkable as the K2, for its small rugged box, it’s a power 
house feature packed rig.


Gotta say its been in its case since I got the KX2. Remarkable rig.

Wow, I am really sad about that. After the K2 and a few K3's, I guess
I waited too long thinking parts for the 4 band version would

2019-06-05 Thread Lane
Took a look at the new revamped website (or maybe I haven't been on it
for a while), and noticed there are no K1's listed. Is it true?
