RE: [Elecraft] KX1 vs K1
The mail archive provided by AC6RM is a great resource with a great search facility. Try it by going to http://www.ac6rm.net/mailarchive/html/elecraft-list/ And do a search on 'K1 and Kx1 compared' The first hit by Bruce Prior N7RR is comprehensive and Wayne has added an extra aspect in the second hit on the list. 73, Nigel ZL2DF ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] KX1 vs K1
Oh, please tell me more. For home use, which rig has a better receiver? Which one sounds better? Does one have the advantage over the other if you're NOT leaving home? - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411 - -Original Message- The K1 is a much more pleasant rig to use and has a performance advantage.

Some say that the K1 sounds better than the K2. The KX1 has a much wider tuning range. You can even use it for SWLing. It can be used crossmode in SSB bands. You can use it in bed, as the designer does. It can be used in the dark or by sight impaired, as it will output all necessary info via morse code. I think in all other respects, the K1 is better at home or on car trips. The ATU option in the K1 will tune more antennas. KE6US has more info and opinions on his website. (See QRZ.com) The K1 has up to twice the output of the KX1. I would like an RF gain control and have even considered sacraficing the AF gain control to add one but that is just my operating style.

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 vs K1
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 = Hi All, I'm sure this has been covered before, but for hiking and backpacking is it a choice between the KX1 and K1, is one better then the other ? Or is it a nocontest and that the KX1 is the winner because of being smaller and lighter ? What about portable antenna's - a long wire ? or is their some thing as almost simple but better ? Cheaper ?
