Hi Guys: I live in New York City, but I grew up in Kalamazoo (KN8LOT and K8LOT received in 1958). I built as many Heathkits as my sidewalk-shoveling and lawn-mowing jobs would afford me. To save postage, my Dad would drive me to Benton Harbor to purchase my Heathkits direct from the factory.
I have built 2 K2s (fully loaded), a K1 and a KX1, also a 6 meter transverter. All are great fun to build. The K2 is a superior rig, and the KX1 is a superior miniature QRP rig. It surpasses the K1 in performance, in my opinion. I'd recommend the KX1 over the K1 as a first kit. I'd also recommend the internal antenna tuner, the 30M module and the matching mini-paddle. 73 de Brian W3BW -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Bruneau Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 08:16 To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Any K1's or KX1's in West Michigan? I'm in Kalamazoo/Portage with a K2 which you are welcome to see. I know another K2 owner, but I don't know a local K1 or KX1. My wife and I come up to the Herman Miller company store every so often, I could bring the rig with me. I am sure I am going to buy and build a KX1 after my code improves. What exactly will I do with it? I don't know, but I don't care! Heck, I might buy a K1 too just to have the complete set! I'm so impressed with the quality (and fun) of Elecraft. Was there anything in particular that is holding you back? -Paul KB8NMZ K2 #4818 On Apr 28, 2005, at 8:53 PM, Jim Dolson wrote: > Are there any West Michigan hams on the list who own either a K1 or > KX1?
