As far as RF performance only goes, the K1 is clearly superior.

I have a K1 (bought someone else's) and a KX1 (built it, added KXB3080 this
spring).
I won't part with either, they do different stuff.
The K1 is my all-time favorite radio, ever.
Before I had Elecraft rigs, I had a Wilderness Sierra that I built -- that was
my favorite before my K1. The K1 r
KX1 has a synthesizer that does not drift, K1 has free running VFO. Its
really a toss up as to which rig overall is better.

Jim, K2HN, asked:
Have been thinking about getting my feet wet with building either a K1 or
KX1. I see most posts seem to refer to the KX1. Aside from size and
portability is there any difference in performance in the two? I can work
with either one but would prefer the one with best performance
simple answer: K1
It goes everywhere, tunes to my portable antenna

batts and auto tuner,

Just my opinion, not looking for an argument (when I asked this question, it
was the many opinions that helped me decide mrore than the arguments over who
is more right):
I chose just the KX1 because I wanted an easily portable transciever. While
the K1 is that too, I liked the more all-in-one-ne
ever had.

Hello all,

The true correct answer is - both. I have both and find each has it's

Based on replies I got recently, and what I have heard for a while, it seems
pretty easy.
If you want something really easy to grab and go, especially light camping and
pedestrian mobile, go KX1.

I can only say that 80 percent of my contacts are on 20 or 40. So the number
of bands covered by K1 or KX1 would not be an issue. The rig I use as all the
bands available but I have favorites and I am sure it would be similar with the
hikers too??

The KX1 is better for Pedestrian Mobile operation.

I've owned both a K1 and KX1 and I find the receiver performance to be about
the same. For backpacking, the KX1 wins hands down.

If properly built, the K1 has a somewhat better receiver than the KX1 in most
areas. The advantages of the K1 receiver over that of the KX1 are:
