I asked this exact question on this reflector in March, and got some good and useful replies. You can Google for that discussion on Nabble to see those technical answers. Bottom line is that both are fine tuners. I know I could have saved some money by using the T1 I already own, but in the end I opted to order my KX2 with the KXAT2, and I'm glad I did. It works great, and it's more convenient than messing with an extra box and coax jumper. I think the choice comes down to how you want to spend your money, more than the merits of one tuner over the other, because either one will do the job very well. I will say that having the internal tuner and an internal battery makes the KX2 a real grab and go radio! I'm still using paddles that I already had, but I think the KXPD2 may be in my future... 73 de W0ZF On Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 9:53 PM James Bennett <w6...@me.com> wrote:
