Hi Elecrafters
Other posts refer to the KX3's PCBs as of the mutilayer type. Does it means
double sided or are there also other layers inside the PCB? And if so, how
many?

I have no idea whether the KX3 uses a multi-layer board or not but it
Hello Pierre,
No idea what's inside the KX3 but it's probably a multi-layer PCB. If
you look very carefully at the edge of the board you can probably count
the layers. Sometimes it helps if you moisten the edge...it makes it
easier to see the layers. When I say moisten, that doesn't mean
given the chipset and technologies, its extraordinarily unlikely that the KX3
is not multi-layer. The interconnection density and pin arraignments on these
chips virtually ensure that multilayer is the only way to build a compatible
PCB. Even the lo-res video's posted todate, show component
Yes, the KX3's PC boards have 4 layers. This is more expensive but
allows for much cleaner signal routing, including nearly unbroken
internal ground and power planes. It would be essentially impossible
to pack a 160-6 meter, state-of-the-art radio in to 1.5 pounds without
this and other
