Tom, You 'MUST' have a K1 with a 2 band board to cover 80 meters, and you can put 17 or 15 meters for the other band - or convert it to 160 meters for the duration of the sunspot lull. Your KX1 does not cover these bands.
The K2 will stay at home while the KX1 and K1 go on outings with you. Alternately, order the K1- 4 band board too and plan the K1 for the base station at camp while the KX1 goes on day hikes with you. Is that sufficient for an excuse? <G> 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I've already built a K2 and KX1 and I am quite happy with them. > Can someone > give me a perfectly good excuse to build a K1?
