Small QRP transceivers like the LNR FX-2 are popping up. If a quality product could be bought, built KX1 and K1s and even K2s would compete on performance and value.
"Buy expensive and cry only once" is a Chinese saying. Why mess with inferior products and encounter QC issues (the few reviews I found and read on the LNR FX-2 often reported similar quality control issues). With Chinese made motorcycles, you should read the tales of woe by some owners. Whole carbs getting swapped and then more than once is just one of the attempted cures... Maybe someone should make a good video and post it on Youtube, comparing the KX1 with some H1-B1 (?) or whatever kits. As a terrible OP, I had a sked with Steven KW4H then, now AI7AZ from DL. He was in a park with his KX1. It was tough going, but we had a QSO. And the antenna was something for quick /p operation, not some stacked yagi. I'm looking for another rig for /p operation and confess being tempted by the variety out there. But now I realize that true value means more than just a low sticker price! Hope that Elecraft will offer built small rigs as well. 73 de Chris KF6VCI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
