Elecraft KX1

I acquired my first KX1 almost a year ago. Having the original model was a dream of mine, especially since I had owned both the KX2 and KX3. Now I'm wondering if I should keep the radio, since it sits unused most of the time. If I decide to sell it, I want to offer it to the QRPer community first—but what are your thoughts on whether I should keep or sell it?

I rarely use mine, but love it when I do. Think of it as a classic car, to be loved cherished and taken out for a drive when the conditions are right!

I agree with Richard - I don't use my KX-1 as much as I would like but I always enjoy using it!

I know everyone said to keep the radio, but I want to make room for some different gear. I thought it would be wise those to share with those on QRPer so that can have dibs on the radio.

I am late to the show...to share my thoughts at the risk of enrcouraging a bit of remourse...

I love my KX1! No, it doesn't come out to play very often but every time it does I find the radio a special pleasure to operate. I had the privilege of finding a KX1 unbuilt kit. So I now have two! Of course they are the same but somehow the rig I built brings just a bit more joy when operating with it. I may one day sell the one I didn't build (well I did complete the 4 band upgrade on it), but until then I will be the happy owner of one KX1 and its backup... :D
