Hi Wayne and Eric,
I own both a KX-2 and a KX-3 and I'm very happy with both units.
De KX-2 is used during hiking and outdoor (not very much SOTA in the
Netherlands), using the internal batterypack.
The KX-3 is used as a homestation and in my Landrover, using an external
battery. At 10 - 15 watt it is an ideal set.
I fitted the 2 meter transverter KX3-2M in the KX-3 and although it is
ideal to drive my UHF/SHF transverters at home, it lacks power in the
field. Even at QRP, 2.5 watts is quite low.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to put a 2 meter transverter (or a
combination of a 4 - 2 or a 4 - 2 - 70 cm transverter) with a power of
approx. 12 watt in the place of the batterypack.
I think that only few people use the KX-3 with an internal batterypack.
For me it would make the ultimate set.
Am I the only one asking for this option or was this discussed (and
maybe rejected) in an earlier stage?
73,
Dan, PA1FZH
