Re: [Elecraft] KXV3 versus KXV3A
The KXV3A has all the capability of the KXV3 plus an additional connector to support the K144XV. The KXV3A replaces the KXV3.

Brett Howard wrote: So if we already bought the KXV3 and we want to add 2 meters we have to buy it again? There is a very low replacement price for those who already have a KXV3. It is $39.95 if my memory serves me correctly from what was posted in the booth at Dayton. FWIW, I just bought a K3 so I wouldn't have to keep moving my development radio between the workbench (where it normally resides) and my operating position. I knew the KXV3A was coming -- having participated heavily in its design -- but bought a KXV3 for it so I could have the RX ANT and IF OUT features available until the K144XV is available.
