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???
Help

Ron,
I have both the K1-2 and the KX1. The KX1 is working
great with the autotuner and the plug in paddle. Have
the 80/30 kit to build but it may have to wait awhile.
My comment is that I will keep both for now but really
like the KX1 better because of it's great receiver
that has the RF Gain
Darn it, now I wanna build a KX-1.
I've been thinking about it on and off for a few months but haven't
been able to really decide for sure...

really quantify what my ear is perceiving.
The K1 clearly deserves a place in the Elecraft lineup.

I built my K1 (#175) in November, 2000, for backpack portable use. If I
were buying a rig today, now that the KX1
