Thanks Bob,
Didn't catch the typo or brain to keyboard

Did you operate in the SS this past weekend?
Ron,
I have both the K1-2 and the KX1. The KX1 is working
great with the autotuner and the plug in paddle. Have
the 80/30 kit to build but it may have to wait awhile.
My comment is that I will keep both for now but really
like the KX1 better because of it's great receiver
that has the RF Gain
