Thanks Mark, well the success got better as I was able to get my SCS Pactor
modems, DSP Tracker, SignaLink Interface etc and all the software going too, so
my KX3 is truly a multi mode radio now, that is very portable.

Hi Everyone,

At 5 watts it goes up to 41 deg, but immediately settles back to

Paul,
I have one of these up at presentthe 5 band model.
Works well but...is expensive, they do have a 3 band QRP one, amongst
others.

Paul,
I also use these for portable work, you may need to carry a couple of
antennas, or make up some half wave length wires for bands other than 10/20/40.
On their QRP antenna you remove the tri-band wire and put on the wire of your
choice, to work other bands.
Won't go to 80 metres
Don,
I go hide on the WARC bands for PSK31 these days :-) Too many big guns on the
other bands, I have a hard time trying to filter them out, my receiver always
gets swamped!

Charlie,
You must admit it's been fun along the way :-). I have Icoms Yeasus etc
scattered around here everywhere, about 10 of them and they have all given me
pleasure at some time or another and still do.
I got an SG2020 when they came out...thought it was the best thing since

I agree with Martin, the SSB module added to the existing KX1. The KX1 being a
builders kit radio now, the space inside may be at a premium, so the SSB module
could be a pre made one as surface mount components, so it could fit inside,
without making a new case etc?
Is this feasible?
73,
Jack
Ray,
The most feasible way would be a retrofit surface mount prebuilt SSB module and
its interface requirements for the existing KX1.
People still build the radio but simply add the SSB module IF they want it.
Like everything..publicise an expression of interest request, see what
happens.
I would not say the Omniangle is a compromise antenna if it works :-) The
operator had nothing else to compare it with and was able to make many contacts
with it!
We would all like a big Yagi I guess, but they weigh more than a few pounds.
The thrill really, is doing more..with less!
an inverted link
mode for the VFOs (for inverted transponder satellite work) would
make the K3/10 with XV stack essentially the perfect VHF/UHF rig -
other than the lack of a large case to hold the XV stack internally.

The K4 would be better off, with NO HF :-) Similar to the 736R and the later
Icom 910H.
Now that the 910H has been replaced with the higher priced Icom 9100, that
includes HF.
The market is short on VHF/UHF only radios with Multimode and SAT capability,
as standalone radios.

Consider that IF you are taking your station on commercial aircraft, in some
