Looking for a KX1

With all the talk about the KX3, I wonder if anyone is contemplating
selling their KX1, if so I would be interested. I am looking for one
that has the tuner, 80/30 meter option, paddle if possible and must be
well constructed with full power on all bands and from a non smoking
environment.. Any other accessories or options would be a plus. If you
have something that meets these needs please send details to include
your best price shipped to zip 45324 in the first email..

Thanks and Happy New Year to all on the list.

Re: Looking for a KX1

I was looking for one as well earlier - especially if someone offered a
discount as this would be going for a Kids amateur Radio Club (see WK1RK
on QRZ).

Actually, if someone donated a complete K1 - they would be just as
happy. someone gave them an MFJ cub and 9220. Neither is performing well
enough in our area for the kids to have fun. I am going to sell some of
my own stuff and get a KX3 to replace our home QRP gear. But anyone
willing to help out these kids for their club. Check them on QRZ and
their website (to see who else has donated and what).

72/73,

Mine's for sale. 40/30/20 w/ATU and paddle. I'll throw in my ear buds
for free. $1,200. PayPal works, shipping included.

And if you get the idea I don't want to sell my KX1, congratulations,
but for enough I'd easily be tempted. I really enjoy this little
handheld. :-)

I love my KX1 with the 80/30 option and the T1 tuner. I would not give it up for anything. OK, I will but only for the pleasure of building the kit again. I highly recommend that you consider the KX1 kit, it is a fun evening time task putting that together.

GM es HNY to all !!
The KX1 was my first Elecraft radio and I used it to learn (still learning) CW with. As other have stated, it's just too much fun and such a neat little radio for what it does ! I too have a KX3 on order, but for right now, I don't want to part with the little KX1 !
I also have a K2 and a K1, love them both, I'd considered parting with the K1, but for now have decided to keep the family together as we wait for the newest member !!
Can't wait for the KX3...........

The K1 has demonstrably better RF performance in most particulars than the
KX1 for ham band CW operation, except for size, crystal-like stability,
and audio prompts. But even if the KX1 was on a par with the K1, the most
important advantage of the K1 has once again become apparent as the solar
cycle improves...it covers 15 meters and it does that very well! The KX1
can *not* do that, due to DDS limitations. When open, 15 meters is the
finest of bands for QRP operation.

I too look forward to the KX3. But it won't replace my K1, whose receive
current consumption is one-third that of the KX3's most frugal configuration.
