Default Private GPG key

Hi,

some month ago I created a GPG key with kgpg. Now, I want to use this key
also on another computer. Where do I find my current private key? And is
it secure to copy it via "scp" to the other machine?

Thank you.

Chris

If you have more than one key in keyring 'gpg --export' and 'gpg
--export-secret-keys' may be more useful.
