I always preferred the K1 versus the KX1. I must have 15m, plus the KX1 really needs a four-pole IF filter, IMO. I have a dream of a KX2 that is a KX1 descendant, with four-pole filter, 15m and maybe other bands not on a KX1, back-lit LCD vs LED, noise blanker, and everything required for the band coverage laid out from the start in the design, and not as an after- thought. (As has been often noted, the KX1 is not particularly easy rig to build with all the options.) I'd also like to see 5 watt output on all bands with 14 vdc power. Perhaps it could even be a factory-built SMT design. Finally, that KX2 would need an ATU capable of far more than 254 combinations of reactance insertion. The KAT1's 1022 combinations would be minimum, IMHO. A small, capable, simple-to-operate, very low-power-consumption QRP rig still has great appeal even with availability of the overwhelming capability of the KX3. I'd like to have both. ...and the KX2 slot in the Elecraft line needs filling! :-) Mike / KK5F ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
