I built, in order: K2, KX1, K3, KPA500. I use my K2 on field events such as SOTA activations and QRP contests. Earlier this year [on Field Day], Rich NU6T and I activated SOTA W6/SN-039 [9,500 ft Leviathan Peak]. I had my K2, Rich his K1. After awhile, I said, "Let's trade radios, I've never used a K1." I was truly amazed, that is a really, really cool little radio, and about half the weight of my K2. I suspect under lab conditions, my K2 RX will outperform the K1 a little bit, I noticed on very strong signals [well over S9] the K1 "pulled" a little in frequency, but it really impressed me. It's on my list to buy, not at the top, but when I win the lottery, I'll buy them all. 73, Fred K6DGW Auburn CA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
