Bad news...for those who don't have one. The K1-4 was my introduction to both Elecraft and purpose-built QRP rigs. It's easily in the top 3 favorite radios I have owned in half a century. I think Gil called it a cute mini K2 in the link below, and that's a pretty good description. It's big enough to operate like a "real" radio in the shack. It's small enough to take anywhere. It tunes smoothly and sounds exceptionally good. It has everything you need for CW and nothing you don't. The KX1 isn't a good substitute for the K1, in my opinion. It's a very specialized rig with lots of compromises for those who need minimum size and weight. After the initial fun of a new rig, my KX1 has been sitting on a shelf with very little use. Whenever I grab it to go camping, I pack the K1 as well "just in case". Then I end up using the K1 the entire trip. If I was a backpacker, the roles would probably be reversed, though. Anyway, re: K1-4. I got mine, and I'm KEEPING it.
