After thinking about if for almost a year, and recently playing with one again at the Visalia IDXC, I bought a KX1, with the tuner and 30/80 option.
I received the box Friday morning and made the first QSO tonight. Took me about 15 hours of work to build the basic KX1 (#2374), I still need to assemble the tuner & 30/80 but the basic radio worked perfected after I completed it. I was very impressed with the loud audio on both 20 & 40... I didn't even have a good antenna attached when I did the initial recv tune up, I just used a piece of scrap wire and I was copying stations 500+ miles away. I was thrilled. After completing the transmitter, I wired up a hand key and started banging out a CQ with only about 25% power... (1W) and on the third call I had a response from a local. Anyway, don't know enough about the rig to comment on much else yet, but so far I'm extremely happy and now not sure why I waited so long. 73 -phil K6TT -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX1-2374-On-the-air-tp4957732p4957732.html Sent from the [KX1] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
