Wayne, How about a possible break-out type box to incorporate switches so we can plug the kX3 in more neatly, since many of us use it as the main rig? That way we could switch modes, etc. by flipping switches instead of unpluggin/plugging cables. If used in the field too, just unplug and go.

My only issue is that while I surely admire the K3 and K3s, I'm really only interested in the posts on the KX so I do a lot of deleting also. This is a marvelous list and one of the few where there is no doubt an answer will be forthcoming from either a member or Eric. Wish it was a little more

I use USPS most of the time, UPS very occasionally. Had to use Fedex recently to ship the manuscript for a novel to my editor. One small box containing 400 sheets of paper. Almost a hundred dollars to New York to get there overnight and it barely made it there on time. Never again. Mike, k5wmg

While I am seriously looking at the KX3 to become the main station here,and I completely agree about the bird guys, they certainly aren't the majority of us who operate at low power. I've used both the 817 and the 703, and in 37 years as a qrper, I've never had any interest in vhf. To say that
