Mike, if affordable I would do a KX3 with the outboard amp. I had no love of the pathetic 857. I went to an IC7000 which was superior. The Elecraft products blew the doors off for me and sold the IC7000. I do not use mobile anymore due XYL preferences. I can do the Elecraft portable now (use

I run mobile. Have for decades. The past ~5 yrs have been with a Yaesu FT-857D and a MINI COOPER. As much as I love my K3 *(and my other radios), if my Yaesu mobile rig died tomorrow, there is nothing at Elecraft that could replace it for even CLOSE to the price I could find another 857D for.

If you're looking for an inbuilt kit, better to source it directly from Elecraft, that way you get warranty and support if there are parts missing, you have trouble getting it to work, etc..  73, Matt VK2RQ On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 7:33 AM +1100, "Ingo Meyer, DK3RED"

Hello Gary, I am looking for a KAT2 internal tuner for my K2. I would prefer an unbuilt kit, but a completed one would be fine too. The boys from Elecraft have so many kits that they have to sell them even. ;o) 73/72 de Ingo, DK3RED - Don't forget: the fun is the power! www.qrp4fun.de -

A simple stereo to mono splitter on the mic connector will split out the mic and PTT. It also give you a cleaner source for the mic bias. Details here: https://observer.wunderwood.org/2015/08/16/yamaha-cm500-headset-with-ptt-on-elecraft-kx3/

Greetings to the Elecraft brain trust. I am in the process of putting a couple of Island expedition kits together. The KX2 fits the bill in the TOTAL portability grab and go kit department. I have a question for the brain trust while I try and pull an entire parts inventory for my mini kit.

Gary, The way to remotely turn the K3 ON is to pull the ACC connector pin 8 to ground (ACC pin 5 or 12). See Remote Power On in the manual. There is a command to turn the K3 OFF in the K3 Programmer's Reference, but when powered off, the serial port is not powered, so it could not respond
