Say, does the new synthesizer have the same footprint as the old
synthesizer or is it an entirely different device? Maybe even from a
different manufacturer?

I know there was a discussion on this subject. I ignored it because I
was not interested in either radio.
Recent events have me interested in either a K3S or K3.
I know the K3 will have to be a used radio because new ones are no
longer available. I am not sure why that is. Sounds like a

I have a KX3 (serial #7551). I just bought a KXPA100 (serial #1566).
The amp works fine when configured in basic cable setup. My NYE MB-V-A
wattmeter indicates 100 watts out to the antenna.
It does not work with the KXPACBL setup.
Both units have the current firmware.
KX3 has tune=nor,
With the I/Q output from the KX3 and fldigi software on the Mac why do
you even fool with signal-link?

I am a new comer to the list.
I have been mostly reading the mail for about four weeks.
I see a lot of traffic about the K3 and very little regarding the KX3.
I am wondering why that is.
Is the KX3 just that much more problem free or is the K3 that much more
popular?
I was looking at test data, comparing K3 to K2 and found that while the
K2 is rated at 150ma, the K3 draws 600ma. Is this correct?
If that is correct, what is in the K3 that requires 4x more current?
What do the additional current consumers contribute to the operation of
the radio?
My first experience with radios that require computer support was with a
Pegasus. I just had to have one.
Three months later I just had to sell it because I realized that
reliability was compromised when more than one piece of gear was needed
for a task that used to be handled by a single

I used to think that if I could not hear a difference, there may not be
a difference.
When band conditions are good there may not be any difference to be heard.
What happens when band conditions are not so good?

After reading all the mail on the synthesizer upgrade I am wondering if
there are any more hardware upgrades planed in the forseeable future.
If so I would prefer to wait for them to happen before I order my
factory built KX3.

I think the idea is to remove the sub receiver, sell it, and use the
proceeds to offset the cost of another option.
You see lots of second receivers on the bay because lots of people have
the same idea. Everyone selling reduces the people buying because the
