We're pleased to announce that the KX1 is now a 4-band radio!
Many KX1 owners have asked for 80 meter coverage, notably Bruce Prior,
N7RR, who pointed out that 80 meters is a great band for traffic
handling at night (in both the CW and SSB segments). Up till now,
Bruce has been taking his KX1 and a second rig that covers 80 meters
on his extensive backpacking trips. Our new KXB3080 option will
lighten his load a bit. 80 meters is also a popular field day and QRP
band, and is especially active in the Eastern U.S. and in Europe. Band
noise is lower in Winter, so this is the perfect time to give 80
meters a try.
Hooray! Elecraft does it again and we thank Wayne and Eric! How about a
kit version of the KXB3080 for those adventurous souls who have some SMT
experience? Just thought that should in NO WAY detract from this
felicitous news.
Happy New Year to the Elecraft gang and all who read this reflector....

Joe, W2RBA
