Hi John, The K1 has very low current drain (on the order of 50 mA on receive), which may allow you to use a small battery pack. The KBT1 internal battery is good for something like 7 watts output.
There's also an internal ATU option (KAT1), which has decent range, so you can leave your coax at home and just toss a wire into a tree. The KX1 is a bit smaller, a bit lower in power output and ATU range, but has an attached keyer paddle option for really lightweight and convenient operation. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 20, 2011, at 1:05 PM, John Flynn wrote: > Good Day All, > > Being new to the QRP universe, I was wondering how backpackable a K1 > is and if anyone does it.
