Yes, a very difficult decision. I'm also pondering this.
One factor that might be a consideration is the sunspot cycle - we are
coming out of it! So 15 or 17 could be very useful portable bands in the
not too distant future. They are doable with the K1 but not the KX1.
As far as the antenna
I want to thank all who responded to my request.
I have decided that if I WAS to buya new kit it would be the KX1; however,
I decided on spending the money on a better antenna.
Currently the only antenna I have is a windom tangled up in my attic.

I have a K1-4 and love it.
I decided I wanted 80 meters and now I can not decide between
a K1-2 or a KX1 80/30? Abouit the same price.
I won't go backpacking but I like the idea of 2 different radios.
Also I likw the idea of 2 same radios for maintenance???

I have both the K1-2 and the KX1. The KX1 is working
great with the autotuner and the plug in paddle. Have

My comment is that I will keep both for now but really

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

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??

Jeremy,
I own a K2 and a KX1, and have some opinions; but I think there is no
hard and fast answer.
The K2 is superb; its receiver is about as good as my Icom IC-7800; no
joke. Yes there are a few conditions in which I prefer the Icom, but to
me, that is an amazing feat given the price

If it were me, I'd take the KX1. Smaller, lighter, perfect

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:
