Hi,

I would appreciate feedback on these ideas.

* How good is the KX1's automatic ATU? I have seen suggestions that it is good with long wires, myself I was thinking about using lightweight dipoles. I am sure I will buy this no matter what.

* I am not planning to buy the KX1 paddles, rather take my hefty Kent paddles with me. $69 (or so) for the small paddles is rather a lot and I have two Kent paddles already ($69 buys a lot of beer). I assume that I can use non-Elecraft paddles without buying the KXPD1 option.

* I am planning to use an external 12V 3AH NiMh battery rather than internal AA. I have two of these which I bought from http://www.qrpproject.de/ a few years ago.

* I am planning to buy the 30m adapter.

FWIW I am getting sorted out for SOTA Switzerland, the mountains and dog are ready, just need the radio.
