I am flying high. I got my KX1 on Wednesday and have it working two days
later. It is a very easy build and seems to be a great rig. I worked 3
guys already and didn't even have the tuner built for the antenna yet. I
decided to get the KX1 because I liked my K2 so much. I really like this
tiny little pocket radio!

Congratulations, Sam!
I agree. My K2/100 gets a regular workout, but there's something
fundamentally appealing about the little KX1. It's a minimal rig with some
very "non- minimal" features that let it compete without apology to the big
rigs: both tx and rx tunable (no need to wait and pounce on stations
happening across an xtal freq), complete 80/40/30 and 20 meter coverage plus
receive across the popular SWL bands, an efficient QRP transmitter with
built-in antenna tuner (you're gonna love that!), excellent keying and QSK
and that receiver has a variable xtal filter that many "big rigs" can't
match.
As an O.T. who has hauled enough tube gear into the field to last me a
lifetime, it's always a delight to notice that the entire rig with its
internal battery, antenna, and key all fits in one pocket in my jacket!
