>First I must emphasize that I am *not* an Elecraft junky.
That's how it starts. I built the KX1 first and then the K2 and then the K1.
Soon I looked around at all the other test gear that I bought from Elecraft
and now I'm not too sure how much gear you can buy before qualifying as an
Elecraft junky.
>Question: just how good is the K1's receiver?
Very good - better filters and I found the K1 a bit more sensitive.
Of course this is really not the point, is it? I asked the very same
question here pretty much convinced I was going to buy the K1 anyway. I
don't regret it one bit. The K1 is a great little radio and I often use it
just for a change of pace. The KX1, however, is the radio that goes with me
most often. It's just too easy to take it along with my Par End-Fed antenna
and use it on a whim if there is a little time to kill. If you use the
attachable paddles you have the ultimate in portability and you can even use
the KX1 while standing up.
Building, of course, is half the fun.
Good Luck.
